Rules of the Road: Confident Urban Cycling

There is more to riding a bike than getting on and pedaling away!

In this encouraging class, a certified League Cycling Instructor will provide tips and techniques for increasing your confidence and safety on the road, discuss creative ways to make bicycling fit into your lifestyle, and cover technical topics such as traffic law, bicycle safety, gear and equipment, route planning, and basic bike maintenance.

This class is part of Zeitgeist’s Bus Bike Walk Duluth, which is a month-long series of community events that celebrates, educates and encourages people-powered modes of getting around – for work, errands, recreation, shopping, and school.
