Thank you for your interest in becoming a Bicycle NSW Master Ride Leader!

Group rides give more people the opportunity to enjoy the fun and other benefits of bike riding. Running the Course as Master Ride Leader gives you the process, the steps, and the resources for training new ride leaders.

As a participating Master Ride Leader (MRL), you are the key to ensuring Bicycle NSW Ride Leaders are the right people, who have received the right training and experience necessary to equip them for leading a group of bicycle riders on public roads.

Once you are an accredited Master Ride Leader, Bicycle NSW delegates to you the authority to assess ride leaders as competent and to accredit them when you are satisfied they have the skills and experience to lead a group of riders on a recreational ride.

Any questions, contact us info@bicyclensw.org.au
