No not talk like a pirate day, but got to the bridge and found the south side closed and had to climb the stairs. Hope it was only for today

Cycling instructor recommendations for a few midweek lessons?

Submitted by MHiller on Mon, 07/04/2011 - 12:28pm

My wife has some interest in learning how to be a better rider (her skills and confidence maneuvering and braking are low), but needs some coaching to get past fears of starting up and making mistakes/crashing. Maybe some coaching on using clipless pedals once her base skills are better as well. Our weekends tend to be very busy, though, and she'd be embarrassed and not necessarily react well to coaching from me.

She is, however, a very strong rider, and has logged many miles on the road -- with clipless pedals, no less -- as a tandem stoker.

I'm not an expert on the topic but thought it seemed pretty comprehensive.  Would love to hear some perspectives.

The ride is still ON as planned.  Due to a technical glitch, the listing disappeared from the website but should be back up soon including the sign up information.  For those who had already signed up ... details remain the same.  See you on Saturday.
