Riding on-street is a skill that all cyclists should develop to allow them the maximum amount of bicycle-based mobility. The skills we practice during our Bike Skills Course help prepare your child for riding on-street. In addition to selecting appropriate routes for the group’s skill level, our coaches will take advantage of City infrastructure such as: Slow Streets and bike routes/lanes. Coaches may choose to ride on sidewalks for short periods when appropriate. Coaches also provide additional guidance and training for their riders, and provide safety measures (such as traffic control) when needed. Whenever possible we proportion the amount of on-street riding to skill level: Levels 3 & 4 will ride fewer on-street routes than Levels 5 & 6.
