Description

Has it been a while since you’ve been on a bike? Do you want to learn how to bike safely? The Bike 1 - Back to Basics class, presented by Metro and ActiveSGV will help you improve your bicycling skills. You’ll learn how to start and stop with confidence, scan, and signal. We’ll show you how to adjust your bike and helmet before a ride, and teach you how to perform a simple inspection to ensure your bike is road-ready. This is not a Learn to Ride class.

Class size is limited. Pre-registration is required. Register now to guarantee your spot!
