Training Structure: Presentation and Q&A --> On-road skills practice
Group Ride Leader Training is an in-person workshop to empower community members to host fun, casual group rides for their friends, family, and community.
To start, we level-set with a presentation-style lesson on the basics. This is followed by hands-on bike handling practice. We then go out on the road to practice leadership, communication, and decision-making skills.
Taught by League of American Bicyclist Certified Instructors, we review the fundamentals of managing this unique type of group activity, including:
- What gear to bring
- Building comfortable routes
- What information to share with the group
- Skills of riding on the road
Please Bring:
- Bike for our on-bike portion
- Helmet to keep your noggin safe
- Your normal stuff you bring when you ride for show and tell
- Water/snacks though we will provide some refreshments too
