Whether you are riding our city streets to get to work, the pharmacy, the grocery store, or an appointment, or you are wanting to get out, move your body, and enjoy the outdoors, the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition is here for you. This month's 2-part City cycling class is open to all but timed to prepare folks for end-of-month bike activities in Clarkston and Avondale Estates. Check out these cities' Bike month calendars:
In this class, you will:
- learn how to do an ABC-Q check to make sure you're bike is ready to go
- fit your helmet
- plan a route
- learn communication strategies
- know how to be predictable
- enhance critical safety skills - turning, scanning, and stopping
Know that our bike instructor for this class, Stephen Spring, has 20+ years of experience as an ELL-certified public school teacher. Both the written and the taught curriculum will employ strategies to ensure our emerging bi- and multi-lingual participants can fully engage.
Our Program:
- May 18th Pre-Ride - a virtual gathering where we build community, share skills, and share challenge rides for all skill levels
- May 19th through May 24th - take up one or more skill- and confidence-building challenge rides alone or with old and new friends
- May 25th Post-Ride - a virtual gathering where we 1) share our experiences through conversation, photos, and video and 2) celebrate your accomplishment and talk about what's next.
We are committed to your safety as you negotiate the city streets for transportation, essential services, and recreation. We'll remind you of the CDC's Social Distancing and Prevention Guidelines that apply to people on bikes.
This free, two-part class is provided with the support of the Georgia Governor's Office of Highway Safety.
