Be-Spoked is a new venture set up by local teacher, Jo Guest. Jo also runs all-women outdoor adventure company, Mission WOW and is a founding trustee and chairperson of the community-based native plant nursery, Te Kākano. Through running bike courses specifically for women over the past few years Jo has built up knowledge and experience working with as assortment clients and coaches.
Be-Spoked provides bicycle sessions for all ages and abilities – male and female, young and older. The sessions focus on skills, maintenance, social and adventure, group courses, school holiday programmes, corporate and one-to-one private classes. Based in Wanaka with a global gathering of skills knowledge, Be-Spoked has designed a new syllabus delivered in a structured and engaging way. The team will use their experience from running successful courses for women to satisfy demand from the male and youth side of the local population.
The coaches are qualified through the BikeNZ system and also either trained or qualified with internationally recognised Professional Mountain Bike Instructors Qualification (PMBI) The coaches all enrich the classes with their own teaching, riding styles, knowledge and passion
