Individual Climate Pledge

On-Bike Smart Cycling Class

Reconnect Rochester Office: 1115 E Main St, Door 4
Free
Many people like the idea of biking more, but they don’t feel safe mixing it up with cars. In this class, students will learn the rules of the road and proper roadway position.
The class will use classroom learning, drills, and a short group ride navigating different traffic scenarios. Bike tunes-ups are available.
