We’ll have ride marshals who will moderate the pace and make sure no one is ‘dropped’ off the back of the group. This fun ride is also the New Haven Coalition for Active Transportation’s “Bike Skills 302” on-bike class.  The goal is to provide novice and intermediate cyclists an opportunity to sharpen their skills on short, mostly flat group rides. If you need to learn to balance and pedal smoothly, please first take one of our “Learn to Ride” classes. For those participants who know how to ride their bike non-stop for at least one mile, this class ride offers an opportunity to ride in a group while practicing safe cycling skills, such as lane positioning and intersection positioning. Register here
