Materials

You will receive a very useful and detailed bike safety booklet from the League of American Bicyclists to reinforce what you learn in class.

Requirements, What to Bring and Wear
As learning takes place in both the classroom and on the bike, you must bring a bicycle in working condition (check to ensure your brakes are in working condition, tubes have air, etc) and a helmet.

If your bike is a bit rusty, stop by the Sopo Bicycle Co-op or one of Atlanta's many excellent bike shops for a tuneup prior to attending the class.

The class includes a practice ride with stops for instructor feedback (many students report this is the best part!) so please wear comfortable clothing and sturdy shoes, and bring a water bottle.

Also bring a snack or light lunch to eat during the classroom portion.

Class Length

4-5 hours including ride. Please respect your instructor and classmates' time by arriving 15 minutes early in order to lock up your bike.

Instructors

Courses are taught by instructors certified by the League of American Bicyclists.

Recommended for adults and children above age fourteen, this compact and comprehensive class will make you a safer and more confident cyclist.
