    Dazzling views, the sounds and smells of nature surround you as your bike rounds bend after bend along a country road. But choosing the right road, selecting the perfect daily destination is key to a memorable tour.

    Planning your own trip or joining one of Rob’s Second Summer groups, we’ll share the delights which only travel by bicycle can reveal. Along the way he’ll share insights into the bicycle cultures of the countries he visits, where bicycles are a more accepted mode of travel.

Ride Safely for the New Year

Skills and drills are part of this confidence building class. Here a student carves a turn on her commuting bike that would make a bike racer proud.

Bicycle Classes

Urban Cycling Workshop January 19 & 21

This next League of American Bicyclists class is tailored for transportation professionals, and scheduled for January in San Clemente. This class is open all riders – beginner through experienced club cyclists. We especially invite city  traffic and planning professionals, anyone who wants to find out what real bicycling is all about.

During this 9 hour course we’ll separate bicycle safety fact from fiction, teach real, proven, and effective behaviors to make cycling easier and less stressful. Basic mechanics and bike fit are covered, too.

Friday evening’s 3 hour lecture is followed by morning on-bike skills and drills, all part of this confidence building class. At left, a student carves a turn on her commuting bike that would make any bike racer proud. In addition to learning people tell us this class is FUN!

$35 includes materials, insurance, a written exam and (usually) a diploma “suitable for framing.” Contact Pete van Nuys, petevannuys@cox.net, 949 492 5737.
