Event Details
The Atlanta Bicycle Coalition is offering FREE neighborhood bike classes!
Many of us would love to bike for fun, fitness, or to get places, but aren’t sure how to do so safely. This concise and comprehensive class covers everything you need to know about biking safely and confidently around metro Atlanta. It includes bike handling skill drills and an instructor-led ride with feedback to reinforce what you learn in class.
Whether you are new to urban cycling and want to gain confidence riding in the street, a trail rider who would like to bike around the neighborhood with your kids, a bike commuter looking for tips on crash avoidance, or a bike enthusiastic interested in leading your own rides, this class has something for everyone.
Expect to learn something new, have your good habits reinforced and those bad habits corrected. Even seasoned bicyclists will have their eyes opened on the less intuitive aspects of Atlanta biking. You will emerge a safer, more confident cyclist.
Price: Free to commuters / residents of Downtown Atlanta
Location: Sopo‘s new shop in Grant Park
In addition, any cyclist in need will receive a free bike helmet, light set, and neon safety vest — email info@atlantabike.org or call (404) 881-1112 to reserve yours.
