RideReady - Bike Skill & Traffic Safety Training

The City of Ventura, BikeVentura, and Trek Ventura are offering a free-to-the-public bike safety training.

This one-day (4-hour) skill course is your chance to learn safety, maintenance, road lane positioning, and bike handling. Our skilled instructors, certified by the League of American Bicyclists, will help you gain greater confidence and have more fun on all your bike rides.

This class is for adults who can ride a bike or adult-accompanied children. The program includes a classroom session, outdoor on-bike skills training, and a group ride on carefully selected city streets.

Even the most experienced bicyclists are going to learn important skills, such as:

• Proper Bike and Helmet Fit
• Riding safely, visibly and predictably with traffic
• Communicating with car drivers
• Your rights and responsibilities on the road
• Emergency Maneuvers
• Across-Town Route Selection
• What to bring on every ride
• Fix a flat, maintain your bike and more!

By successfully completing this course, Trek will give each participant a chance to win a new Trek bicycle.

Trek will provide a free safety check during the class to ensure your bike is shifting smoothly and the brakes work properly. In addition, enjoy coffee, snacks, and excellent safety training by professional instructors.

A working bicycle and helmet are required. Have questions? Please get in touch with [email protected]
