AAMPO Street Skills Class

New to city bicycling? Returning to bicycling from a long hiatus? Just want to be more in tune with bike progress in the Alamo Area or become more confident riding on streets, in mixed traffic?

AAMPO’s Street Skills class is a free, hour-long program for adults and mature teens who want to understand where bicyclists fit on the street. It covers important street riding information in a classroom-style session. Street Skills class provides real-life examples of city bicycling scenarios and how best to handle them so that you enjoy pleasant, stress-free rides.

Each class participant receives a helmet and bike light set, thanks to funding by the City of San Antonio Public Works Department. Advance registration is requested of all participants; walk-in students are welcome but are not guaranteed a helmet and light set.

Street Skills classes are open to adults and teens who are at least 14 years old. Participants between 14 and 18 years old must attend with a legal guardian.

For this month only, AAMPO is partnering with Ghisallo Cycling Initiative to bring on-bike education to Street Skills participants. Immediately following Street Skills, participants will have the option of joining Ghisallo's Learn to Ride Event; an on-bike clinic covering practical application of the information from Street Skills.

Participants joining Beginning City Cycling have the option to bring their own bike or to borrow a bike provided by Ghisallo Cycling Initiative (as supplies last). All Learn to Ride participants must wear a helmet for the duration of the ride.

Ghisallo Cycling Initiative is a 501(c)(3) non-profit providing bicycle education and encouragement in Austin and San Antonio.
