Commuting tips workshop

Learn how to be more comfortable on your ride to work, and after you arrive.

From how to configure your bike, to what to wear, how to choose your route, and what to do with your hair and your clothes when you arrive—here are the answers to the questions that many cyclists have.

This ‘Commuting Tips’ workshop has the answers to your questions:

  • "What’s the best kind of bike for the type of riding I do (or want to do)?"
  • "How can I set my bike up to make it work for me?"
  • "How can I choose a route to work that’s relatively safe and comfortable?"
  • "I’ve heard a lot about specialized clothing and accessories, but I don’t have an unlimited budget. What’s worthwhile and what can I do without?"
  • "When I get to work I need to be well-dressed and coiffed. I know people who do it, but what’s their secret?"

Join us for this workshop and learn about:

  • Choosing a commuting bike
  • Setting it up for comfort & efficiency
  • Choosing a route to work & back
  • Clothing and accessories that work
  • Workplace grace: avoiding helmet head & wrinkled clothes

What you can expect

As well as presenting practical information in an easy-to-understand manner, the workshop allows for significant interaction with the participants—fielding questions and allowing sharing of experience. Materials are available for demonstration, including a fully-equipped commuter bike, clothing and accessories.

Taught by an internationally certified cycling instructor, this session shares with you a wealth of techniques taught in cycling courses throughout North America.

And this is the older sister of Murphy (below), who learned to ride shortly before he did. At the end of the morning, they were both riding together.The family had travelled from Regina to their campsite at a local lake north of Saskatoon, and then back to have the lessons for the day. Now the whole family can ride together to various places at the lake, and they've made plans to ride together to the grocery store and other venues.What you don't see is me walking alongside the new riders for a mile or so (or more) with my hand lightly resting on the handlebar stem, and patiently guiding them through every step.After a day of this I am exhausted (I still was when I was twenty years younger), yet I absolutely love these sessions.I don't believe I've done anything more rewarding than this in my life, and there have been several other deeply fulfilling careers. ...
