Decatur, where they say it’s greater, is an excellent place to learn Confident City Cycling with the Atlanta Bicyle Coalition! On Saturday, July 17th, ABS will offer a bike class for those who want to learn to ” drive” their bikes. Driving your bike refers to riding on the street safely, predictably, with confident courtesy. This is the perfect introduction to driver education for teens.

Cost: $20 ($10 fro ABC members)
Location: Decatur Recreation Center, 231 Sycamore Street, Decatur
It also teaches something more important, and vital to our movement: empathy. Time and time again people tell me, ” I never really understood how to interact with cyclists until I started riding a bike in the street.” There is no substitute for experience!
So come out to Decatur, bring your teen or anyone else you would like to gain confidence on their bike.
