Smart Cycling for Adults (18+)
Saturday, July 17, 11:30AM-2PM
Do you know all you need to feel comfortable and bike safely with traffic? Do you feel you know enough to teach your children how to ride cautiously and conspicuously while on their own? When you drive a car, are you confident on how to share the road with people on bikes? The Smart Cycling program gives you the tips, tools, and techniques to confidently answer YES to each question.
This class is great for new cyclists, returning cyclists, and experienced cyclists who would welcome some tips.
Practice Using Bus Bike Racks
Friday, July 23, 4:30-6:30PM
(Depot back Parking Lot, This lot is behind the Lexington Historical Society and right along the Minuteman Bikeway!)
Join the Town of Lexington’s Transportation Manager and practice getting your bike on and off a bus bike rack so you feel confident and ready to expand your commuting options! You will practice on an out-of-service Lexpress bus parked in the Depot back parking lot. Lexpress uses the same bike racks as MBTA and many other transit buses. Learning and practicing a couple times should take only 5-10 minutes. While there will be a bike there you can use, it is great to practice with your own bike.
No registration necessary, just show up anytime between 4:30-6:20 (last person will be taken at 6:20PM)
