Each class will teach you the rules of the road, how to perform basic maintenance on your bike and will include an actual ride with an instructor. The ride will teach you how to maneuver in traffic, avoid pot holes and how to maintain control of your bike if you have to make a sudden stop.
If you want to learn on your own you can visit our the Cyclopedia page on the Bike Emory website. There you will find articles full of tips on how to care for your bike and to be prepared for any type of ride.
