Adults and Teens (14+) Learn to Ride Class (VTA)

Is learning to ride a bike something you have always wanted to do? Maybe you are afraid to fall, or perhaps you don't know who can help you. We have the perfect class for you...

Join us at this FREE class and learn to balance, pedal, and roll! Under the patient guidance of Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition's (SVBC's) trained instructors, we'll show you how to properly fit your helmet and how to ride a bike in safe and welcoming environment. Class participants who do not already have a helmet will receive a free helmet to keep, as long as supplies last.
