About this Event
This on-bike class will focus on the bike-handling skills you need to safely and confidently bike in city traffic. The class will be conducted in a car-free space, and is the second in the Smart City Cycling sequence. Smart City Cycling 1: Classroom or Intro to Biking in SF is a prerequisite for this course. If you have not already taken it you can register here.
Topics covered include:
- How to ride with one hand in order to signal
- Scanning over one's shoulder while maintaining a straight line
- Crash-avoidance maneuvers
This class will prepare you for Smart City Cycling 3: Road Practice, in which you will take your new skills onto streets.
All participants MUST either bring a bike or rent a bike in advance. Bikes will not be available for rental at the class. If you don’t have a bicycle, we will send information on how to rent one for the class. If the cost of a bike rental (about $20) is a challenge for you, please email [email protected] or call at (415) 409-9416, as we have some limited funding available for rentals.
At this time, this class is limited to people 18 years old and above.
Please note: By providing your name and contact information through registration, you are consenting to this information being used for contact tracing should that become necessary.
This class is part of the SFMTA’s Bicycle Safety Education program, presented in partnership with the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition. It is made possible by the San Francisco County Transportation Authority through a grant of Proposition K Local Transportation Sales Tax Funds.
