This is one of the most comprehensive bike classes being taught right now in the United States and it is absolutely free! This 3-hour online classroom session will cover basic and advanced bicycle riding techniques, and dig deep into topics like:

• The structure of a bicycle including components and mechanics
• Fitting your bicycle correctly
• Materials and gear to bring on a bike ride
• How to ride in almost any road situation
• Safe habits for group riding
• Riding in all weather conditions
• Riding at night
• Long distance touring

• and more.

This class is open to adults 18 and over. No bike or helmet are required.

This class is the pre-requisite for taking Smart Cycling Part 2 (On-Bike), where we put into practice what is learned in the classroom. Taking Part 2 is highly recommended, as hands-on practice is critical to successful learning!
