The course was developed as part of a KA2 cooperation partnership project in the field of youth, "Youth&Commute" that aims to increase the mobility of marginalized youth by creating a structured and fun approach. We want to educate young people who have little knowledge about cycling and bicycle maintenance and motivate them to become daily bike users.
