SUMMARY:Learn BEGINNER bicycle skills.  Practice moving/turning/shifting 
 in a safe environment.
CONTACT:Viv
DESCRIPTION:This is not a social ride.  This is a free practice 
 environment.  Participants will ride around a car-free block\, practicing 
 basic bike skills.  \n\nWe’ll practice bicycling forward\, turning\, 
 shifting\, signaling your intention to turn\, checking over your shoulder 
 to ensure it’s safe to turn\, and moving confidently through 
 intersections.  We’ll practice on a wide\, safe street that is closed to 
 cars.  \n\nThis is for people new to cycling.  I’ll get you started\, so 
 you build confidence.  I'll also answer your questions\, and connect you 
 with future resources.\n\nI'll have a table on Bond Ave\, wearing a 
 "BikeLoud" shirt.  Ideally\, folks will come ready to start at 1pm\, and 
 as a group\, we'll progressively go through practice drills until 3pm.  If
  you can't arrive by 1pm\, come any time during the two hours I’ll be 
 there\, and stay for as long as you'd like to learn.  The street is large 
 enough that numerous participants can work on their own skills at their 
 own pace.  I’ll assess each person to work on the skills they specifically
  need\, and answer any questions about biking.  Even if you're not 
 interested in riding\, come if you have beginner questions about how to 
 bike around town. \n\nI’m a certified bicycling traffic instructor\, who 
 has been teaching for a decade.  These are "parking lot drills" from the 
 “Smart Cycling” curriculum taught around the country.  These drills have 
 taught and empowered thousands of people new to cycling :)\n\nThis is for 
 ages 16+.   I can also teach ages 6-15 if parents stay and work with their
  kids.\n\nRequirements: Bring a helmet.  Know how to balance on a bike and
  move forward a bit\, even if you're unsteady.  Bring your own bicycle\, 
 or there's a Biketown station that rents bikes by the minute (via the Lyft
  app) on this block.\n1-3pm\nhttps://shift2bikes.org/calendar/event-15830
