Once a month we offer a fun ride in a scenic part of San Diego County. Part learning experience, part coffee jaunt, these rides welcome all riders, but are geared for beginners. If you would like an introduction to road riding, riding in a group, or just a nice morning out with some fun bicyclists, this is a ride for you. The rides are typically 8-10 miles, flat, and we do it at a pace that encourages talking and interaction (somewhere around 8-12 mph average, depending on the group). We talk a lot, stop a lot, and usually eat or at least bring doughnuts, while getting information about riding in various situations. No registration required – just show up and ride! To check the class calendar for our next Ride and Learns, click here. Traffic Skills 101 (Formerly Road I) Traffic Skills 101 is conducted in two parts held on different days. The Classroom session is normally held on a Friday evening and the on-the-road session on a Saturday. These sessions need not be attended on consecutive days, but sucessful completion of the classroom portion is required for participation in the on-the-road ession.. More driving school for bikes’ than fitness coaching, the class is half in the classroom, half on the bike, and covers questions such as:
Riding is the most important part of the on-the-road session, so students are expected to bring a bicycle in safe, ridable condition and helmet to class. Students range from beginners to more advanced riders – the only requirement is that students be able to balance, pedal, and steer a bike. Registration is required and will be available on-line through Active.Com. The event spcific registration links at Active.com will be published on our "Events" page when dates, times, and places are finalized..

Traffic Skills 102 (Formerly Road II) A continuation of Traffic Skills 101, Traffic Skills 102 provides more information about bicycle maintenance and practice of more difficult traffic situations. Traffic Skills 101 touches on how brakes and gears work on the bike, and Traffic Skills 102 advances those concepts for more elaborate adjustment and maintenance of those bike systems. Where Traffic Skills 101 exposes students to roadway riding on residential streets, collector streets and minor arterials, Traffic Skills 102 takes students through more challenging situations such as freeway interchanges and hillier terrain. Completion of Traffic Skills 101 and registration are required for participation in Traffic Skills 102. To check calendar for our next Traffic Skills 102 classes and to complete the registration process through Active.Com, click here.
