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
  • A friend or three!

Please arrive promptly so all participants can benefit from the full time allotted for this instructional experience.
