This course includes bicycle safety checks, fixing a flat and bicycle traffic laws. Challenges are presented for every skill level in this 4-5 hour course typically taught in two sessions. The cost is $60 per student; discounts apply for groups of 15 or larger. For more information, contact Robyn Elliott at robyn@biketoursatl.com or by calling 404-273-2558.
Community Bicycle Round-Up
This is a customized community event where all ages and skill levels of bike riders and cyclists come together to learn bicycle safety while improving their overall skills. We deliver a blend of three programs, Kids Wheely in Control, Cycling Skills for Parents and Urban Cycling Education Series to an entire community in their neighborhood. By delivering the program in the students’ neighborhood, we can help identify dangerous areas and safe zones for children.
This community program also helps the motorist learn the skill level of the young cyclists. This is helpful for everyone since motorists pose a threat to young cyclists. Non-cyclists in the community are invited to attend a special module called Neighborhood Bike and Motorist Basics.
A program can be designed as a one- or two-day course or taught over several weeks. It is the most cost-effective way to deliver bike education to a community. We provide a custom quote once you tell us the number, skill and ages of participants. Recommended ages: 8 to adult.
