Families of the Future: A community centre course to get families cycling
Families of the Future is a free curriculum resource for running a short course for families on cycling with young kids.
In Melbourne, 27% of car trips are under 2 km in length - a distance which is easy to cover on a bike. Families of the Future was produced to support and enable more families to cycle as an everyday means of transport. The program was developed and piloted between 2004 and 2006, before being packaged up in 2007 as a resource available for download. It was designed with neighbourhood houses and community centres in mind as possible hosts for the course, and is available for not-for-profit use by anyone.
