Interested in taking a LIME bike for a test ride? WABA’s E-bike Confident City Cycling class in an opportunity to practice basic bike handling skills, learn the difference between E-bikes and non-motorized “accoustic” bikes, and pick up tips for riding safely and confidently on streets and in traffic.

The first half of the class will cover important bike handling skills and hazard avoidance maneuvers necessary while riding in traffic. Participants learn skills such as the avoidance weave, quick stop, rock dodge and instant turn, and discuss considerations for sharing space with other road users.

The class ends with an on-street group ride, where participants put their newly acquired skills to the test. Have any questions? Email us at education@waba.org.

This class is for you if:

You know how to ride a bike and have experience riding on trails
You know how to ride a bike and would like to learn how to ride safely in traffic
You have experience riding in traffic but would like to learn more about traffic law and how to navigate tricky traffic situations
Ebikes are faster and heavier than non-motorized “accoustic” bikes. We recommend this class for those who feel confident in their ability to balance, steer, and control a non-motorized bike.

Equipment:

A LIME E-bike and helmet will be provided for all participants.
Prefer to bring your own E-bike? No problem!
