Basic Bike Skills Clinic

Description

Join the OEDC team for an afternoon of learning more about you and your bike!

This is a BEGINNER /INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED FRIENDLY event. Come with whatever experience you have and we will tailor a progression that will leave you with something new.

--> You don't have to know how to ride a bike... we will teach you!

--> You don't even need a bike... we will let you borrow one!

Topics to cover:

  • Pre-Ride Safety Check
  • The 3 Essentials
  • Starting & Stopping
  • Braking
  • Body Position
  • Bike & Body Separation
  • Shifting
  • Steering
  • Speed Control
  • Climbing & Descending
  • Timing and Coordination
  • Pressure Control

Feel free to ask for help on any other skills you are working on! We'd be happy to assist.

Following the workshop, we are open to leading a group ride if anyone is up for it.

The location will be dependent on the skill level and interest of the group, but will be somewhere in Morgantown.

*Given the forecast, we are planning for rain contingencies on the 10th or 11th. We will keep you updated as we get closer to the event.
