Bicycling Basics for Women's Confidence and Comfort

Class coming up next week!

Bicycling Basics For Women’s Confidence and Comfort Keys to Safe and Confident Bicycle Commuting
Learn how bikes and biking equipment differ for women’s geometry; how to increase confidence and self-sufficiency, and helpful riding tips for commuting, errands, or fitness. We’ll consider specifics like: What do I need to start? Basic “must haves” vs “nice to haves”.
1. What kind of bikes are available now and which are appropriate for me?
2. Where can I practice bike skills for safer and more enjoyable riding?
3. What’s keeping me from riding regularly? (We’ll address most common barriers with practical solutions.)
4. Who is out there to help and to ride with, and how do I find them?
5. How do we deal with personal safety issues and common women’s concerns?

Instructor: Beverly Garrity, bike skills coach, owner of Strong, Light and Beautiful (Women’s Cycling Skills), and Jane Rothstein, LCSW, HIP Coordinator of Environmental Behavior Change

Stanford Wellness Bike Class 7/16 and 7/23

I have the honor of helping teach a short class for Stanford's Health Improvement Program a.k.a. HIP! Sign up if you are interested in joining the class, focussed on the novice, to learn basics about bike fit and types of bikes, and how to jump start commuting and using your bike for errands if not exercise and training! It's a two part class - the 2nd class we'll ride over to a bike shop and discuss the different new technologies and point out must-haves and nice-to-have, or luxury items vs need to have accessories to make your riding and lifestyle be safe and easy!
