Urban Riding Basics Skills Class to be presented at School of Dentistry, Health Sciences Campus

Urban Riding Basics - This class focuses on the basic safety details each rider needs to know before hopping on a bike.  Ambassadors will review fitting a bike and helmet, what to wear, how to pack, a review of the rules of the road, locking your bike and much more.  The class size is limited to 30.  Participants do not need to bring bicycles.

The class is presented by the Bicycle Ambassadors, a team of adult safety educators working to make bicycling better in the City of Philadelphia.  The Bicycle Ambassadors are an education and outreach program of The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia sponsored by The City of Philadelphia, University City District and Fairmount Park.  Ambassadors work in teams and travel to each event by bicycle (many times with trailers full of information in tow). 

Bicycle Ambassadors encourage adult bicyclists to ride more often and ride more safely as well as educate motorists on the rules of the road and provide tips for sharing the road. Ambassadors teach bike safety, sharing the road, bike lane and bike path etiquette and how to bike to work and school.

The URBAN RIDING BASICS CLASS WILL BE OFFERED FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3RD AT 11:30am at the SCHOOL OF DENTISTRY, TIMMONS HALL ON TEMPLE'S HEALTH SCIENCES CAMPUS.
