Consider the octopus. A smart, muscular animal comfortable in its domain. Now consider the octopus interested in biking through Philadelphia. Ambitious, it dons a bike helmet. Suddenly, the presence of the helmet makes the rest of its hitherto invincible body seem exposed. Doubt creeps in.

Do you feel like an octopus with a bike helmet? Are you interested in biking through Philly but concerned about navigating traffic, soiling your work clothes, or getting home in time to feed your 80,000 unhatched broodlings?
Then you should take our Urban Riding Basics class!
