Get comfortable traveling by bike with this instructional group ride! We will take it slow, stay together, practice our skills, and learn to ride safely on streets.We will gather for a few quick drills, then hit the city streets for a 45-minute ride of three to four gentle miles. Then we will practice connecting bike trips to MARTA! SPIN will have bikes available for use if needed. This class was created in conjunction with the Fulton County Library System.
What to expect
We will gather for an information session from our instructors then hit the city streets for a 45-minute ride of three to four gentle miles. Once rolling, we’ll
- Take it slow, stay together, and practice our skills in a safe and supportive manner
- Experience Atlanta’s existing bicycle facilities, like two-directional protected and/or single-directional bike lanes and sharrows, and
- Learn to ride safely on streets without bike lanes by exercising our legal right to “take the lane.”
How to prepare
Please bring a helmet and ensure that your tires are inflated to the recommended psi. We strongly recommend that you also bring:
- Water and sunscreen
- Sneakers or other appropriate closed-toed shoes
- Comfortable, appropriate clothing for being outside and active
