 Now available to both Feather Pedal Riders and VSBC Members! Space is limited so sign up soon. Savvy Bike and VSBC are partnering to bring you cycling skills classes. These classes are for all experience levels, people brand new to cycling or those that have ridden all of their lives but never practiced skills or need a refresher. Host: Randy Simpson, 925-980-9304 Four classes will be offered, two Bike Skills 101 and two Bike Skills 201. Descriptions follow and can be found at https://savvybike.com/clinics-and-camps-new/ . Bike Skills 101 – Fundamental Bike Handling This 4-hour clinic is the foundation of everything else you’ll learn on the bike. This is the clinic where we teach the old dogs new tricks and the newbies the fundamentals. You’ll learn about balance and weight distribution and how that affects your ability to ride your bike safely and confidently. We’ll learn skills like riding with no hands, emergency stops, and how to look behind you while holding your line, how to steer, and counter-steer. After just four hours, we guarantee you’ll be a better bike handler and have much more fun on the bike. This clinic is a pre-requisite for all other Bike Skills road cycling clinics.
Bike Skills 201 – Climbing + Descending Bike Skills 201 is a continuation of what you’ve learned in Bike Skills 101. What goes up must come down, right? In this 4-hour clinic, we’ll teach you how to climb like a pro: seated climbs, standing climbs, short climbs, steep climbs, extended climbs. And then, we’ll teach you how to come back down again, focusing on a fast straight descent, and then a technical switchbacky descent. Pre-requisite: Bike Skills 101. Space is limited to 8 people for 201. So register as asap. Savvy Bikes is offering the classes for $100 per VSBC member.
