The Smart Cycling Part 2 (On Bike) class run by Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition (SVBC) is a 6-hour outdoor workshop where you will learn and practice all the different techniques and situations that you learned in Smart Cycling Part 1 (Classroom) while working in small groups with our certified League Cycling Instructors (LCIs) to improve your bicycle handling skills, ride defensively to avoid crashes, and learn crash-avoidance maneuvers in case of emergencies.

It will prepare you to bike confidently on any street. This class is open to anyone age 14 and older. Attendees must bring a well maintained functional bicycle they can ride and their helmet. We recommend bringing plenty of water and sunscreen. We will stop around mid-day during the teaching ride to pick up lunch and have time to eat.

  • "Made me more confident on the road, taking the lane, and being a defensive cyclist." - Francisco M.
  • "I am more careful about lane changes and looking for obstacles in my path." - John C.
  • "I’m now more comfortable using my bike for commuting." - Ben P.
