Rediscover the joy of two wheels! Whether you are returning to cycling after a hiatus or looking to polish your skills for the local trails, this program is designed specifically for the needs and interests of active older adults.
Through a partnership between the Wisconsin Bike Fed and the Lussier Family Heritage Center, we are offering a comprehensive workshop that combines expert-led education with hands-on practice. Our goal is to help you ride with more confidence, comfort, and safety.
We will begin with an indoor classroom session to discuss bike fit and comfort, gear and technology (including e-bike information), rules of the road and safety, as well as considerations specific to active older adults. After our indoor classroom session, we’ll head outside! Led by certified instructors, participants will engage in a gentle group ride around the beautiful grounds of the Lussier Family Heritage Center and nearby trails.
No one gets left behind. This program moves at a comfortable speed suited for all fitness levels! Please bring your own bicycle in good working order, a helmet, and a water bottle. Comfortable athletic clothing and closed-toe shoes are highly recommended. Don’t have a bicycle? No problem! Please let us know as we have a limited number of loaner bikes available.
