Please fill out this form to register for Smart Biking March 26 and 28.
Smart Biking is a two-session workshop designed to develop confidence and competence of a bicycle rider.
Participants have the option of attending only Session 1 but must attend Session 1 before completing Session 2.
Students will learn about choosing a bicycle, basic parts of a bike, essential equipment, as well as how to safely and comfortably ride your bike in various traffic conditions, terrain and climates.
Upon completion of both sessions, a Smart Cycling certificate will be awarded and graduates will receive a free set of bike lights.
Completion of the Smart Biking class is a prerequisite for registering for the LCI (League Cycling Instructor) Seminar.
