E-bike Confident City Cycling

Interested in taking an E-bike for a test ride? WABA's E-bike Confident City Cycling class is an opportunity to practice basic bike handling skills, learn the difference between E-bikes and non-motorized "acoustic" bikes, and pick up tips for riding safely and confidently on streets and in traffic.

The first half of the class will cover important bike handling skills and hazard avoidance maneuvers necessary while riding in traffic. Participants learn skills such as the avoidance weave, quick stop, rock dodge and instant turn, and discuss considerations for sharing space with other road users.

The class ends with an on-street group ride, where participants put their newly acquired skills to the test. Have any questions? Email us at .
