Want to host a bike commute workshop at your workplace?

The Bicycle Transportation Alliance will come to your workplace or community group to teach a one-hour workshop covering laws, skills, basic gear, and basic maintenance. This is a great introductory workshop for people who are new to bicycling or interested in learning more. Experienced commuters are encouraged to come and share their tips with fellow riders (and hopefully walk away with new knowledge).

Topics covered at the workshop:

  • Basics of riding: traffic signals and signs, bike lanes, bike boxes, tracks, and sidewalks
  • Bike skills: hand signals, turning, changing lanes
  • Gear: bikes, helmets, lights, accessories, cold and rain gear, carrying kids and cargo
  • Q&A session

We also host seasonal workshops with a special focus on gear options and riding skills for being safe and comfortable riding at night, in the rain, and in other fall and winter conditions.
