In this class, we’ll go on a guided group ride to practice street-riding skills on increasingly high-volume streets. This class is the third in the Smart City Cycling sequence, and Smart City Cycling 2: Maneuvering is a prerequisite.
Skills covered in this class include:
- Taking the lane
- Changing lanes
- Left turns
- Lane Positioning and Signaling
All participants MUST either bring a bike or rent a bike in advance. Bikes will not be available for rental at the class. If you don’t have a bicycle, we will send information on how to rent one for the class. A rental costs $21.20, and if you need financial assistance we can cover the cost for you.
COVID protocols: If you’re fully vaccinated (meaning two initial doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or the J&J vaccine and a subsequent booster) you are not required to wear a face covering. If you are not fully vaccinated, or do not wish to disclose your vaccination status, we encourage you to wear a well fitted mask for the duration of the class. We also encourage students and instructors to complete a self-health screening before arriving to the class (details will be sent in the confirmation email). We will have masks, hand sanitizer, alcohol spray, and wipes on-site for anyone to use.
Please contact Chester Hartsough (chester@sfbike.org/415-323-0564) with any questions about this program.
This class is part of the SFMTA’s Bicycle Safety Education program, presented in partnership with the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition. It is made possible by the San Francisco County Transportation Authority through a grant of Proposition K Local Transportation Sales Tax Funds.
