MCDOT Sponsors Spring WABA City Cycling Classes

For Immediate Release: Wednesday, April 10, 2019

This spring, in conjunction with the Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA), MCDOT is sponsoring two opportunities for residents to take Adult Learn to Ride Classes. These City Cycling classes are a fun way to feel more confident about using bikes as a regular form of transportation in urban settings.

The classes in Montgomery County will be held on:

• Saturday, June 1: City Cycling - BCC Rescue Squad Parking Lot at 5020 Battery Lane. 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
                                  Learn to Ride - BCC Rescue Squad Parking Lot at 5020 Battery Lane. 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

These classes are designed to help residents learn skills and techniques to ride comfortably, confidently and effectively on county streets and to use bikes to get around for transportation, recreation and fitness.  Beginners and long-time riders are encouraged to attend. Cyclists will learn specific bike handling skills before hopping on their bikes for a ride. Instructors will discuss situational tips for riding on busy roads, bike paths and trails. The cost is $10, and free for WABA and Capital Bikeshare members.
