July 1 & August 5: Bishop's Bicycles' Introduction to Road Riding
On the first Thursday of each month Bishop's Bicycles holds a Introduction to Road Riding Ride. This session starts at Bishop's Bicycles and then heads to the bike trail to cover basics -- riding in a group, riding in a pace line and using hand signals to communicate with other cyclists. The ride will then travel to neighborhood roads to practice techniques learned on the trail. This ride assumes that the participants understand how to operate their bike. Helmets are required and rear lights are encouraged.
Bishop's also periodically hosts Bicycle Maintenance Clinics, which cover repairing a flat and maintaining your bicycle. Check out their website for details.
