If you have mastered the basic skills like starting, stopping, and turning, and you have familiarity with using hand signals and shifting gears, come to a free Street Skills clinic. This class builds from the skills practiced in our Road Readiness clinics. We’ll ride as a group on streets with low-speed traffic, learning how to start and stop safely at traffic signals, ride a safe distance from parked cars and moving vehicles, communicate with other road users, and make turns at intersections. This class is open to people of all genders. Participants are welcome (but not required) to take Road Readiness and Street Skills on the same day. 

If you cannot yet ride independently across a parking lot, have not mastered stopping and starting smoothly, or are unable to use hand signals, please do not register for this clinic. Our Basic Skills class is more appropriate.

If you have the basic biking skills like starting, stopping, and turning, but want to build your confidence to ride in the street, come to a free Road Readiness clinic for adults.

This class is taught entirely in a parking lot. We will run through some fun activities to build skills like using hand signals, shifting gears, and riding in a steady line.
