Smart Cycling Part 1 - Everyday Riding Skills

Want to ride your bike with confidence — for commuting, errands, or fun? Join our dynamic Smart Cycling Part 1 class and learn the skills that make riding safer, easier, and more enjoyable. Taught by certified League Cycling Instructors, this class will cover beginner, intermediate, and advanced bicycling topics and techniques.

Join us at the Redwood City Public Library! We will be in the Community Room on the 2nd floor. All attendees will receive a free reflective safety vest, as long as supplies last.

What you’ll learn:

• Good bike fit: Learn how to fit a bicycle to your body for comfort and control.
• Safety checks: Master a simple 5-step check to make sure your bike is road-ready.
• Practical riding techniques: Handle nearly any road situation with proven methods.
• Lane positioning: Know where to ride to stay safe around cars.
• Rights & responsibilities of a bicyclist: Understand how to apply the vehicle code
• And more!

Who should attend

Open to everyone aged 14 and up. No bike or helmet needed. Please register each participant separately.
