Guelph Off Road Bicycling Association

GORBA members can participate in our clinics to improve their cycling skills in a fun and supportive environment. GORBA clinics are led by members certified as OMBI (Ontario Mountain Bike Instructor) by the Ontario Cycling Association. Clinics range from beginner to intermediate and advanced and include both on-bike and maintenance clinics are offered.

GORBA also offers CAN-BIKE courses to interested members. The CAN-BIKE safe cycling skills program is the standard for bicycle education in the province of Ontario, and across Canada. The premise of the courses is that a bicycle is safest when it is operated as a vehicle on the road and because the bicycle is smaller, lighter and slower than other vehicles, a cyclist must develop skills that allow for assertive, but safe and responsible behavior. The CAN-BIKE Courses teach defensive riding skills, traffic analysis skills, and collision avoidance techniques. They also provide the basics on safe equipment, and a basic bike inspection. Regardless of your experience, CAN-BIKE will make your cycling more effective, and give you a greater sense of confidence and control in traffic.

Finally, GORBA offers a Youth Program, called the "ANKLE BIKERS ". It is geared towards our young club members from ages 8-12 years old. For more information, click here.
