🌅 Morning Briefing - Essential Skills Briefing

• The course begins with a comprehensive classroom session covering urban riding fundamentals. You will explore essential observation techniques including scanning, head checks, and the IPDA hazard identification process (Identify, Predict, Decide, Act). We will discuss road positioning strategies, communication with other road users, and critical safety gear requirements.
• Your helmet will be fitted with communication equipment for real-time coaching throughout the practical sessions.

🏍️ Practical Skills - Urban Riding Foundation

• We start with fundamental control exercises focusing on positioning, speed management, and smooth progression. You will practice essential braking techniques - learning to use both front and rear brakes effectively could literally save your life one day.
• Next comes TUG communication practice (Takes in, Uses, Gives information) - mastering how to read other road users' intentions whilst ensuring they see you.
