Cycling as a lifetime sport, is designed to take the beginner through a progressive program of bicycle training and instruction to include: proper mounting, balance, turning, ascending, and descending individually and in a group. The course labs are hands-on and focused on learning through practical application and drills on the bike. All riders are also introduced to basic bike maintenance and required to demonstrate baseline skills in preventive maintenance checks and services (PMCS). Classroom instruction is focused on the introduction of cycling principles and as a feedback forum for the riding labs.
