Do you know how to ride a bike, but rusty with your maneuvering and handling? Build your confidence in this class focused on advanced skills drills using defensive cycling principles. In this class we will spend the whole time on the bike in a safe, protected and traffic-free environment. We will practice balance and handling skills such as steering, avoiding sudden obstacles, start and stop, and weaving obstacles.

Ready to Ride is the natural progression for students that attended the Learn to Ride class, but we welcome all participants that already know how to ride.
