These clinics will take place in a confined area to accommodate different speed and fitness levels.
BASIC SKILLSWe will start with basic bike handling skills in this session and depending on the abilities of each rider will progress in skills that will help with balancing on the bike, riding in a straight line, drinking while riding, cycling with others and being safe in traffic. The session will end with a lesson on how to change the rear tire.
