Cycling Classes for New, Tentative, and Experienced Riders.

Perhaps you "just got back into riding" and that new E-bike has you on the greenway with the passion and enthusiasm you last experienced when you were a kid?

The Jeff Roth Cycling Foundation offers a variety of League of American Cyclists developed bicycle instruction classes for persons at all levels of experience.  We offer Learn to Ride, Smart Cycling, and Group riding Classes.  All classes require a bicycle in working order, and a helmet.  

 

If you have never ridden, we have taught several adults and children how to ride. Our certified instructors can get you on wheels too!

 

If it has been a long time since you have been out on your bike, or you would like to gain more confidence in riding on the road, our Smart Cycling Class provides information on the laws, proper lane positioning, how to ride in traffic, crash avoidance, bike handling skills, and a short group ride.  Even if you are an experienced cyclist, there is information in this course you will find valuable.

 

Jeff Roth Cycling Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting cycling, through advocacy and education, as a safe and healthy form of recreation and transportation.  All our instructors are League of American Cyclist Certified.  Classes are free and supported through the "Share the Road" license plate. Donations, however, and donations are always welcome.  If interested contact us today at:
