The perfect place to start for those who are confident riding a bicycle, but who have limited street-riding experience or who haven't ridden in a while. During this week, we introduce the skills needed to learn how to bicycle effectively and to go from a beginning to intermediate level of riding. Participants will learn how to change gears, ride with a group, and obey traffic laws. There is plenty of time the first day to practice skills before venturing onto the streets in the Berkeley and Albany area. Routes are mostly flat with intermediate level hills and cover 10-25 miles a day (depending on the abilities of the group).
This camp is for children entering grades 4-9 and runs from July 12 - July 16, 2010.
