Ages
Ages started for the programs are guides. They tend to reflect the ages that the programs are typically suitable for, however we are happy to accommodate children outside these ages, but please call us to discuss.

Food & Snacks
Some programs include light snacks handed out by instructors. These are typically lolly snakes, icy poles or muffins. Due to a wide variety of dietary requirements and preferences we do not supply an extensive range of snacks. If you have specific requirements for snacks, you are welcome to supply them however, they will have to be carried by your child. If you would prefer your child is not given any sugar or they have any allergies, please make this clear on the booking or at the beginning of the program.

Are you coming?

In order to ensure we get away on time, if you cannot make a session, please either email us at [email protected] or text us on 0434 101 308. 

While we appreciate being told through other methods is sometime easier, using these two methods will ensure the message gets to where it needs to be. 

Missed / Skipped Sessions (School Term Programs)
Bike On strictly adhere to capacity numbers for all programs and cannot typically accommodate missed or cancelled sessions by moving kids around between different programs week to week.  There are typically not credits or refunds for the sessions riders do not to attend – although where possible we are happy to try and accommodate changes but there is no guarantee as most programs are full.

All term programs are priced on the assumption that 7 of 10 weeks will run, however we will run all 10 of term programs weeks at no additional charges if conditions allow (essentially providing up to 3 free / make up sessions per term and some degree of flexibility for students that skip weeks for various reasons). In normal circumstances, participants will get more than the 7 weeks, in very rare circumstances they may not. In order to ensure space for your child, a booking reserves the space for each week of the term. Low weekly costs are achieved by selling spaces as a term long program and are not possible by selling weekly spots on a casual basis. As with most term or season long group sports, they are not costed to include credits, refunds or alternative classes for weeks missed for any reason. If you envisage missing the majority of weeks, you may wish to pay the week-by-week casual fee of $75, however this is strictly subject to availability on the week in the group that is suitable for your child. There is no guarantee of availability on any given week and availability changes over the term.

In the event of inclement weather (heavy rain, storms etc) we may look to postpone, modify or cancel the session but will attempt to deliver the majority of classes. As a result, we do ride in the rain with due consideration to safety.

We will make every effort to deliver all sessions in any given period, but the program pricing assumes that events beyond our control may result in some programs not running. Bike On strictly adhere to capacity numbers for all programs and cannot typically accommodate missed or cancelled sessions by moving kids around between different programs week to week.

Missed / Skipped Programs (School Holiday Programs)
By purchasing a program, you are receiving a limited place in a program that typically sells out. Where riders elect not to ride for any reason, we do not guarantee a credit or place in an alternative program. Where we can provide a credit for an alternative booking in the same holiday period, we will attempt to, however this is not guaranteed and is entirely subject to availability.

Cancellations by us (School Term Programs)
All term programs are priced on the assumption that 7 of 10 weeks will run, however we will run all 10 of term programs weeks at no additional charges if conditions allow (essentially providing up to 3 free / make up sessions per term and some degree of flexibility for students that skip weeks for various reasons or sessions that have to be cancelled).

We will make every effort to deliver all sessions in any given period, but the program pricing assumes that events beyond our control may result in some programs not running. In the event of inclement weather (heavy rain, storms etc), we may cancel the session but will attempt to deliver the majority of classes. As a result, we do ride in the rain with due consideration to safety.

Program Attendance is not compulsory, and riders are always free to make their own decision on whether to attend in advance of any Bike On decision based on their own assessment of the forecast, however credits are not given if a participant elects not to attend.

In poor weather, we will typically wait until an hour before the event before deciding to cancel (communicated by email and on our parents’ Facebook page)… there is always the possibility that we may elect to run the program only to find the weather doesn’t behave as anticipated and have to cancel at any time up to and including the start of the session.

Cancellations by us (School Holiday Programs)
Where we cancel a School Holiday program, we will provide refunds or credits for those that have purchased the program independently of any subscription program. Program Attendance is not compulsory, and riders are always free to make their own decision on whether to attend in advance of any Bike On decision based on their own assessment of the forecast, however credits are not necessarily given if a participant elects not to attend.

Communication channels
In the event we need to cancel a day at short notice, we will communicate by email and on our private parents’ Facebook group www.facebook.com/groups/bikeonnoosa/. This page is also where we share a heap of other useful information available to subscribers such as:

  • Videos and photos of what your kids get up to during the lessons so you can share in their experience
  • Free social rides organised by us or privately by other parents
  • Free ad hoc coaching programs available to parents
  • Free ad hoc mechanic classes
  • Discounted holiday/trips open to Bike On members (such as Derby, Thredbo)

Changing Days
Permanent ongoing changes to your enrolment days can be made at the end of each school term (before the commencement of the following term) by contacting us.
While we will try to accommodate mid-term requests for changes, we cannot make any promises as staffing commitments are made well in advance and we have strict instructor/student ratios we must adhere to.

Race Participation 
Race participation is entirely optional and seperate from Bike On programs (it is not a Bike On program in any way)

Bike On will typically have a presence of coaches and junior riders at all Queensland Rocky Trails Super Flow events, however it is entirely the responsibility of each participant to make their own way to these events and parents to provide support/supervision as they deem fit. Bike On does NOT provide direct supervision or assistance at race events. 
Bookings and further information about the Fox Superflow series can be found here https://rockytrailsuperflow.com

Make an Optional Trail Care Contribution

Bike On staff participate in significant trail maintenance, especially at Gympie and Wooroi and we also pay land mangers between $2-$3 per rider per session (however unfortunately land managers don’t often use this for trail maintenance).

If you would like to contribute to the maintenance of the trails, there will be the option to add a small, voluntary one-off or ongoing contribution to your booking that will either be donated to local bike clubs or used by Bike On to deliver trail maintenance programs. If you would like to add a one-off contribution to your purchase this can be done here. If you would like to add an ongoing contribution to your purchase this can be done here.
