This clinic is meant to teach the concepts and skills of vehicular cycling - how to "drive" your bike in traffic the safest way possible as well as give some good information about riding in general, basic bike maintenance, etc. This is not a course to learn to ride your bike - you need to be able to do that before attending this clinic.

 

The clinic has two parts, as follows.

1) Online instruction and testing which you can complete at your convenience. you must complete this portion with and 80% or higher overall score.

 

2) On the bike instruction, each session will last 3-4 hours, depending on how many students, general skill levels, etc. You will need to bring your bike in working order, a helmet (required), and any water/snacks you might need. Also, dress for the weather. Most of the session will take place in a parking lot, where we will learn and practice skills and techniques. We will then take a group ride on local streets where you can practice the skills and apply the knowledge you have just learned in real life situations. We will end with you filling out a feedback form and the instructor will fill our a road test score sheet (yes, a report card).
