Bike Emory wants you to ride, but more importantly, we want you to ride safely.
We offer effective cycling classes at Emory, instructed by the folks at the Atlanta Bicycle Campaign starting this fall on the following dates:
Class Details:
Basic Adult Commuter Class
Length of Course: 6 hours
Cost: $20 (for Emory and Emory Healthcare students, faculty, staff)
Pre-requisites: You must have a working bicycle and a helmet; you should be able to ride a bicycle for a minimum of 3 miles on a variety of terrain.
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.
To register for the November 3rd class please contact Tina Chiles at tchiles@emory.edu
