If you know how to balance and pedal but would like to improve your bicycle handling skills and confidence, our on-bike, off-street class is for you. This group practice, held on a nearby Stanford parking lot, covers several “building block” techniques that are key to enjoying bicycling for transportation and recreation. You’ll see and learn how to:
* Begin pedaling quickly -- without hesitation
* Stop smoothly and precisely -- without fear of falling
* Turn confidently without wobbling -- both while pedaling and coasting
