Bike Abouts are beginner-friendly rides to learn how to explore your neighborhood and community by bike. Whether you want to do a quick errand by bike, ride to school or work, or just get out to enjoy nature, these rides are for you! The rides in this series will feature safety tips for riding in traffic, allow you to experience the comfort of riding in a group, and familiarize you with routes that may be different from motor vehicle routes. We will provide a bike pump, so if your tires need air, come a little early. Please make sure you have a bike in good working order, bring a water bottle and helmet (required for rides). Lights on your bike are strongly encouraged. Rides will be conducted by Anna Blasco and Sara Sundquist, Certified League of American Bicyclist Instructors, in partnership with the Shasta Wheelmen Bicycle Club.

For this ride, meet us at Central Valley High School, 4066 La Mesa Ave, City of Shasta Lake. Before taking off on this ride, we will discuss how to do an ABC Quick Check of your bike and how to fit your helmet. This ride is family friendly – a casual pace and fun way to be outside, riding with other families and learning destinations to bike to such as schools, parks, and main street destinations. The route will take you on neighborhood streets passing 3 schools, the skate park, city offices and various other destinations. Instructors will give tips on riding safely with your family. Bring water, helmet, and a bike in good working order. Ride distance: 3 miles.
