SUMMARY:Learn BEGINNER bicycle skills. Practice moving/turning/shifting in
  a safe environment.  Learn to join Pedalpalooza.
CONTACT:bicycle instructor
DESCRIPTION:This is a free\, drop-in\, learning environment\, overseen by 
 a bicycle instructor.  Participants will ride around a car-free block\, 
 practicing beginner bike skills.  \n\nWe’ll practice moving forward\, 
 braking\, 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\, and get you ready for Pedalpalooza rides!\n\nI'll have a table 
 on Bond Ave\, wearing a "BikeLoud" shirt.  Some folks will come at the 
 start time\, and progressively go through practice drills until the end.  
 If you can't arrive at the start time\, drop in any time during this 
 event\, and stay for as long as you'd like to learn.  Some folks only have
  ~20 minutes of questions or needs\, so come anytime during this event.  
 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.  Even if you're not interested in riding\, 
 come if you have questions about how to bike around town. \n\nI’m a 
 certified bicycling traffic instructor\, who has been teaching for a 
 decade.  These "parking lot drills"come from the national curriculum\, and
  have taught thousands of people.\n\nThis is for ages 16+.   I can also 
 teach ages 9-15 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 on this block that rents bikes (via the Lyft app).\n2-4pm\, come 
 at beginning or drop-in anytime\nhttps://shift2bikes.org/calendar/event-
