About this event
Description
In our class, offered in partnership with the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition, you will learn the rules of the road and practice essential bike riding skills with a trained bike instructor. Topics covered include where to ride, best practices, emergency maneuvers, legal rights and responsibilities. The 3-hour class is broken up into 3 parts: lecture, skills drills, and a guided road ride to put your new skills into action! Class content applies to both regular and e-bikes. Please come ready with the bicycle/e-bike that you regularly ride. Be sure that your bike is in good working order. Don’t forget to double check the chain, brakes and tire air pressure. Wear a properly fitted helmet, closed toe sneakers and athletic clothing that is safe to ride in and weather appropriate. Please bring a water bottle and snack. Some cycling experience is required as this is not a "learn-to-ride" class. Encinitas residents will receive a refund of registration amount after completion of the course ($2.70 ActiveNet system processing fee is non-refundable). If under 16, parent registration and participation strongly encouraged. For participants 12 and under, parent registration and participation required.Activity Sub-Category
