About this event
New Cyclist Orientation Class and Ride
Presented by Montgomery Cyclery & Cincinnati Cycle Club
Now that you have a new bike, come learn some fundamental bike safety, trail etiquette, and learn the safety benefits of riding in a group!
Each class and ride is led by a Cycling Savvy certified instructor.
We will start with a safety briefing and some on bike demonstrations, then head out for a ride, starting on the Murray trail. We will also be riding on some quiet neighborhood roads, an urban road, and down the shallow hill on the Murray Trail and up the shallow hill on the Murray Trail. It will be a 10-12 mile slow ride, with stops along the way, as needed. Bring a water bottle, and a snack if you need one.
