C.I.C.L.E.’s Traffic Basics. Get Into The Flow

Traffic Basics: Get into the flow…

It's a Lifestyle Worth Living
Our
workshops are designed to empower, encourage and enliven you. Our
classes are affordable and we offer a sliding scale to those in need.

ABOUT THIS CLASS
Getting Street Smart
Are
you new to riding in city traffic? Then this is the perfect workshop to
get you, or someone you love, out there bicycling on city streets both
safely and confidently.

During the first part of
the workshop, we will help you develop a thorough understanding of the
basic principles of bicycle and traffic safety. For the second part of
the workshop, you'll need your bike, because we'll be hittin' the road
for an easy bike ride that will put what you just learned into
practice. This workshop requires that you are already confident with
your bike handling abilities.

To attend this class you must be able to:

* Start your bike with confidence and ease.
* Balance and steer your bike
* Bring your bike to a smooth and controlled stop.
* Use your gears effectively
* Remove one hand from your handlebar to signal without veering.
* Look over your shoulder without veering.

If
you need to boost your bike handling skills, please see our 'Can You
Handle It?' and 'Handle It Better!' workshop descriptions to better
determine your skill level.
