In partnership with Atlanta Cycling Festival, we are holding additional True Beginners classes this month! Please explore other events provided by ACF which takes place from May 9 - 16. Happy Riding! 

This class is for participants ages 13 and over. 

Get ready to join the pedal-powered revolution sweeping through Atlanta! With more and more people riding bikes for fitness, commuting, and exploring the city, it's time for you to learn how to ride a bike!

This class is designed for true beginners – whether you're a kid or an adult riding for the first time or you've ridden in the past but still feel shaky on the pedals, we've got you covered.
