06/06/09 Bicycle Handling Skills Clinic
Bicycle Handling Skills Clinic members learn how to:
- Begin pedaling quickly — without hesitation
- Stop smoothly and precisely — without fear of falling
- Prepare for a quick re-start — ready to go when it’s your turn at a stop sign or traffic signal
- Turn confidently without wobbling — both while pedaling and coasting
- Scan behind to check for a gap in traffic, without veering
- Steer confidently with one hand — to safely give a hand signal or use a water bottle
- Scan, signal, and move to a new line of travel — essential for changing lanes or getting in line with other drivers
- Shift gears smoothly and understand when to shift — to make riding up or down hills easier
Join us for this skills clinic, then we’ll add a 1-3 hour ride afterward for ALL abilities and fitness levels.
Um, yeah this is probably a good idea for me, I’ll be there. Any wheelies or… maybe going off jumps with uzis? You know, like in the movies.
