Free Family Biking Workshop Series

Learn to ride with your children ... Give your children freedom and healthy habits ... Learn the rules of the road

The Marin County Bicycle Coalition, through a grant from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, is offering a series of four free workshops on family bicycling starting in October at the Larkspur Recreation Department 240 Doherty Drive in Larkspur. 

This free training is for parents and their children to learn safe bicycle riding
skills.  Topics covered will include rules of the road on-the-bike skills, and more advanced road skills.  The series will culminate with a fun family bike ride. 

This series of two-hour workshops will teach your family how to safely navigate streets with proper equipment and behavior.
