Not comfortable on the road?
Get ready to ride in the city! In this class we cover general bike safety, emergency maneuver skills, legal rights and responsibilities. It’s perfect for beginners, and equally valuable for experienced cyclists that want to brush up on road rules.
This class is offered virtually or in person.

VIRTUAL- The virtual course option includes a 1.5 hour interactive lecture on Zoom, followed by a Q+A. Closed captioning is available by request!
Before the class: Please download Zoom and practice using the platform. You’re welcome to have your bike and helmet nearby during the webinar so that you can practice skills and make sure your gear is safe to use.
IN PERSON- We also offer an in-person City Cycling Class. This 3 hour class includes a 45-minute lecture, followed by 1 hour of skills drills. This class also includes road riding. The road riding portion of this class is about a 4-mile guided bike ride and we take frequent stops to discuss bike infrastructure and riding skills. Class sizes are limited so register now!
Before the class: You will need a bicycle for this class. Electric bicycles are welcome. Make sure your bike is in good working order and ready to ride! Helmets are required and we can provide free helmets by request. This is not a “learn-to-ride” class.
