SUMMARY:Learn BEGINNER bicycle skills. Practice moving/turning/shifting.  
 Learn to join Pedalpalooza.
CONTACT:Viv\, the 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\nIf you feel brand
  new\, come 15 minutes early\, so we can promptly practice all the 
 beginner skills in sequence.  Or\, if you just have a few 
 questions/concerns\, drop in any time during this event\, 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.  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 nearly 15 years.  These "parking lot drills" come from 
 the national curriculum\, and have taught thousands of adults.\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 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-
