Community Cycling School begins to offer presentations

Bike Fort Collins offers free cycling education to local organizations, businesses and groups.

Fort Collins – Bike Fort Collins volunteers will be hitting the streets this year to begin their effort to provide educational presentations that will ensure that more people have the necessary skills and knowledge to enable them to go by bicycle.

Requests are being sought for the new Community Cycling School program being offered by Bike Fort Collins through a generous grant from REI.

The goal of the Community Cycling School is to provide our community with the skills and knowledge needed to integrate cycling into everyday practices.
 

ABOUT Bike Fort Collins

Bike Fort Collins (BFC) is a Fort Collins 501c(3) non-profit advocacy organization that is committed to promoting and developing programs that increase safe and enjoyable bicycle riding in Fort Collins, CO.  BFC embraces a broad range of bicycle-related activities centered on sharing the benefits of a strong cycling community. Such activities include: operating the Fort Collins Bike Library, providing support and partnering with the city of Fort Collins in the local K-12 Safe Routes to School program, partnering with the Fort Collins Bike Coop for the recycling of used bicycles, and the development of a “museum without walls,” for restored antique bicycles that are then placed on display in merchant shops around the city. BFC believes that the bicycle is the sensible mode of transportation for pleasure rides with the family or short trips to the grocery store; daily commutes to work, and longer multi-day camping trips. Due to a lack of understanding of necessary skills, equipment, and methods of utilizing the bicycle, the general public often fails to view the bicycle as a sensible solution to get from one place to another. The Community Cycling School will ensure that more people have the necessary skills to enable them to go by bicycle.
