More Bicycle Commuter Classes Being Taught

I told you a couple weeks ago about a class aimed at teaching you to be a better bicycle commuter. Well, due to popular demand, more of those classes are being made available- and they're more in-depth!

Two classes are currently open. The 9-hour classes (using course content from the League of American Bicyclists) cover traffic safety, route selection, basic maintenance and more.

They're filling up quickly though- each class has room for ten people and is taught in 1 evening and 1 Saturday session. The June class is on the 9th & 13th; the August class is on the 11th and 15th. These classes are being offered at a special rate of $30 / person (will likely increase for the next set of classes). If you would like to register or need more information, email cyclesafely@gmail.com.
