Description:
If you’re new to bicycling or just getting back on your bike after years out of the saddle, we’ll help you gain the skills necessary to ride safely and confidently. This entry-level course prepares new and returning riders for our Urban Cycling Techniques course.

Students will learn basic bike handling skills and maneuvers, including:
• stopping and starting
• how to shift the gears smoothly and effectively
• proper braking technique
• where to ride in the road
• signaling
• road infrastructure and bike facilities

Learn laws and safety as well as on-bike handling drills. We will apply our newfound skills on a group ride using neighborhood streets and the Burke-Gilman Trail.

Course is designed for those who already know how to ride a bike but need additional practice.

Bring a bike in working order and a CPSC approved helmet. Bring a snack and be sure to wear weather appropriate clothing.
