Savvy Cyclist is a free, one-day, basic "introduction to cycling" program for teens and adults who want to improve their cycling skills. This class is ideal for new cyclists who want to learn the basics, or those returning to cycling from a long hiatus. It’s a great class for those who want to know more, to be more independent on their bike, and for those who feel a little nervous while cycling in traffic. It provides essential knowledge and skills to know, adjust, repair, and ride your cyclist like an experienced pro.
If you do not know how to ride a bike (that is, start, stop, balance and steer without falling down), this is not the right class for you. You must at least know how to balance & control a bicycle.
Savvy Cyclist is the same class as a League of American Bicyclists Road I, and it fulfills the pre-requisite for entering the training and certification seminar to become a League Cycling Instructor.
