The basics of group rides…
15 miles
Sunday, April 6, 2025
Learn the basics of Road Biking from shifting to cadence! In our first of 3 classes we will learn to ride together in a group.
In this class we will cover the basics of defensive riding with traffic. We will have some riding on roads to give you experience but the road have been carefully chosen to avoid chaotic traffic. We will be riding in bike friendly Brooklyn from the north end a Prospect Park, to Coney Island’s famous Nathans Hot Dog stand. The golden rule of riding in a group is to remain predictable so your fellow riders know what you are about to do.
Before the class I will give you a brief overview about water, nutrition, clothes, helmets, and clip in shoes. The point of these classes is to give you, the new rider, a chance to ask questions of someone of experience. Lets RIDE!!!!
All rides meet at 8:45 and start at 9 AM. This is a 15 mile ride on mostly flat terrain, though prospect park, lots of bike lanes, and down Ocean Parkway Bike Path, one of the oldest bike paths in the country. PS. If you want, you can always take the train home. We won’t tell anyone. So bring your lunch money and Ride On!!!!
