When
you're new to bicycle commuting, it can be a great confidence
booster to ride with someone more experienced the first time out.
Contact us and we'll find an experienced commuter to test ride
your route with you.
Traffic
cycling course
Are you worried about
riding in traffic? Do you find yourself riding on sidewalks
because you're afraid to ride on the road? This class is for you:
you will learn how to operate a bicycle effectively in a variety
of situations.
Everyone who drives a car legally in this
country must learn rules of the road and vehicle operation.
Learning how to ride a bicycle safely is just as important. This
class will teach you about vehicular cycling: “driving”
your bike confidently in traffic, creating space and communicating
with drivers.
Learn to commute confidently, to communicate
quickly and clearly with drivers, to understand and avoid
collisions. And learn how to maintain your brakes and gears, fix a
flat, and plan your route.
Suitable for novice and advanced
cyclists looking to widen their skills, this 8-hour course
includes 5 hours of on-road instruction, leads to the “Road
I” certificate from the League of American Bicyclists, and
will be taught by a certified cycling instructor.
