Many people ask if this course is for them!
Simply, this course aims to increase handling skills and confidence when riding your bike and offers helpful tips for navigating urban cycling infrastructure. Think of it as a bike rodeo for adults… but more fun. This course is great for all cycling levels as it works on foundational handling skills that many people don’t know about.
It starts with some handling basics in the park and finishes with a leisurely group ride to Icecream, coffee or Beer. Its a great way to make new friends and learn, or solidify handling skills.
