Bike Skills 102: Learn-to-Ride, Adults and Teens

November 23, 2024 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM

A Smart Cycling On Bike class.

Bike Skills 102: Learn to Ride—Adults and Teens is a free group class for adults and mature teens who are ready to ride. Doesn’t matter if you’re 18 or 80, we’ll get you rolling in no time. With our safe, easy, effective method, Learn to Ride students learn how to balance, pedal, start, stop, and steer a bike, as well as adjust a helmet for proper fit. Most people learn to ride in one session, but even if they don’t, they’ll leave equipped with an easy, low-stress way to teach themselves—or, they can join us for another free class!

What to bring: A water bottle to stay hydrated. We provide a free helmet if you tell us you do not have one in your online class registration. A bicycle for you to use. The bike should be in good working order, which means the tires are inflated enough to feel hard, the pedals and chain move smoothly, and the brakes slow the bike down to a stop. Contact us if you have questions about your bike (classes@ncat-ct.org), or let us know in the registration that you need a bike to use (we will follow up to fit you to a bike we can lend to you).
