Description
You haven't been on the bike in a while. You've pulled that bike out of the garage and scraped the dust off or you've bought a new bike, new helmet, shoes, cycling shorts(with padding), a fancy cycling jersey with empty pockets, bike bag, pedals ---- whew! You're great riding around the neighborhood or through the park, but just a little intimidated with riding on the road or in a group of other cyclists.
Maybe you want to fly like the wind, or be a little greener and not drive your car so much - or you just want to lose some weight and improve your health.
Is this class for me?
You look closely at your aspirations and set some goals for yourself, and then - you think a little deeper about what happens when you get on the road. It can be intimidating, taking your bike on the road with vehicles that have their weight measured in tons, not pounds.
- How do you act?
- What's legal and what's not?
- What are all these cars expecting me to do?
- How do I take my bike on the road and feel safe while I'm working to my goals (remember those goals?)?
