Our Instructors are certified by the League of American Bicyclists and our partner Joe Michel from E Bike Central will teach you everything you need to know to embrace the E-Bike experience.
We will have Class 1 E-Bikes available for this class, thanks to our community partners. The use of the bike is included in the class price. If you already have an E-Bike, we encourage you to bring it: we want you to be comfortable with the bike you will be using daily.
