There is more to learn about bicycling than just pedaling! This on-bicycle skills clinic will help you brush up your bicycling skills with a specific focus on bicycling as an older adult. Instructors will work with small groups to focus on building the skills, stability, and confidence necessary to bicycle. All skill and ability levels welcome!
