Urban Confidence- Adult Biking Class

Urban Confidence is the third course in Bike Walk Macon’s three-class beginner’s bicycling course for adults. This class will help you improve your experience and safety so you can pedal our city’s streets. We’ll cover general bike safety, how to communicate with other commuters, how to use dedicated bike infrastructure and a review of state and local laws. The class will help students be predictable, visible, and confident while biking in an urban environment.
Students may sign up for the three-class course or individual classes.
