We are excited to include several off-site sessions this year, so be sure to check the location as well.

Are you interested in getting your students on a bike ride as a class? Maybe you want to be more help for those little bike commuters in your school? This session is designed to teach you some basics of getting students out on bikes as a class and how to do so safely. We will spend the first half of the session talking about some of the most common and basic bike repairs that can be done with a small selection of easily obtained tools and show how to keep those freshly tuned bikes running smoothly with basic maintenance. For the second half of the session, we will get outside on bikes to try out a few different basic bike drills involving balance, braking, and shifting.

Session Objectives:
1. Teachers will learn how to get students outside safely on a bike
2. Teachers will learn some basic bike repair skills to fix common issues
3. Teachers will try different biking activities that can be done with all ages
