Description
Experience the rush of road cycling with our instructors as they teach you the proper techniques of shifting, braking, efficient hill climbing, safe descending, proper body position, and reading the road for safety. This is an educational ride, not a guided tour; we want to teach you how to get more out of your cycling experience.
This class is designed for folks getting back into cycling and beginners alike. We'll start by addressing proper bike fit, making necessary adjustments to improve comfort and performance. Next we'll demonstrate riding techniques and teach important communication and safety skills to prepare you for the ride. Then it's off for a great ride to practice what we've learned! New Novara road bikes provided at no extra cost for those without a bike of their own. NO RIDER IS LEFT BEHIND! Please bring your helmet and proper riding apparel. Recommended for those 14 and older; under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult.
Upcoming Classes:
January 31 - Rockville REI
February 28 - Fairfax REI
March 27 - Fairfax REI
