Smart Cycling for Tweens
Advertisement
Two consecutive days covering basic bike maintenance, safety, biking laws, and navigating an urban environment. *Registration is required: https://myrichlandlibrary.libcal.com/event/15460577
This class is to prepare kids for the school commute and is targeted specifically at middle schoolers and those rising 6th graders who are biking further and on more challenging routes than they've commuted on before.
We will cover the basics of bike maintenance, how to fix a flat, tips to keep the bike secure on the bike rack, what the law requires, and navigating the urban environment (including route planning, on-road, and sidewalk riding).
We will meet at the Richland Public Library two consecutive days. Kids need to bring their bikes and helmets. Bikes must pass a basic safety inspection and helmets must be worn at all times when riding. We can, on a very limited basis, supply bikes and helmets if we know far enough in advance.
Attendance is limited to 12 kids (4:1 ratio of kids to instructors) and we will waitlist students. Priority registration will be given to kids who plan to attend both days.
Parents are welcome to observe the class. Helmet rules apply equally to adults - no exceptions. A liability waiver will be sent after initial registration form and must be completed in order to be fully registered.
