BIKE EDUCATION
New cyclists or those coming back to cycling after years off the bike frequently are uncomfortable with basic bicycle handling skills like signaling, turning and stopping. Before they can feel comfortable riding on trails or in traffic they can benefit from practice on their bicycle in a relatively quiet setting, like a parking lot. These basic handling drills are designed to allow a cyclist to feel more confident handling their bicycle. Helmets are mandatory.
Cost: $10 per person / Free with Bike Santa Fe Membership.
For ages 8-13 years old, the Bicycling 123 program concentrates on teaching good bike handling skills and modifying children's behavior to become safe and conscientious bicyclists. This class is limited to 10 students. Children's bike must be in good working order to participate. Helmets are mandatory.
Cost: $10 per child / $5 for each additional family member/ Free with Bike Santa Fe Membership.
