Bike Skills 101: Learn to Ride—Adults

“I’m not sure if this will really be helpful for folks not in NYC, but I also learned to ride a bike as a kid and forgot and find biking as an adult scary but aspirational. I took one of BikeNYC’s free adult courses and loved it. I’m planning to take one of their follow up classes for getting comfortable riding around other bikes and traffic. I found that learning with trained teachers (who, importantly, were not friends or family) and other adults was actually easier and more comfortable than trying on my own. If there’s anything like this where you live, I’d highly recommend it.”
