Biking is a great form of exercise and transportation. These clinics, led by certified trainers, are designed specifically for adult riders—whether you’re getting back on a bike or learning for the first time. Safety Refresher: For those who haven’t ridden in a while and want to refresh their skills. Review basic bike maintenance, current rules of the road for cyclists and drivers, and techniques for riding safely on streets and bike paths. After practicing on a traffic-free course, we’ll take a short ride on neighborhood streets. (Rain date: May 17) Learn to Ride: Even adults can learn to ride. Practice getting on and off a bicycle, building balance, understanding the rules of the road, and riding safely and confidently on streets and bike paths. Held entirely in a traffic-free parking lot. (Rain date: June 7) Check to ensure your bicycle is in good, working order (air in the tires, operating brakes and chain, and gear shifters adjusted and lubricated). Wear comfortable clothes for biking and bring a bike helmet, water bottle and sunscreen. If you have an ebike, it must be a Class 1 e-bike to participate in this program.
