Bike Skills Instruction

I work with all ages from beginner to intermediate riders. I am here to provide tips and guidance on mountain bike trails, gravel roads, or bike paths. Whether this is your first time on a bike or you are looking to improve your years of experience, I will tailor each session to your goals and riding level. As a professional instructor and teacher, I am really good at breaking down each skill and applying it to the riding situation. For the most specific individualized experience, I offer one-on-one lessons. For a group experience and discounted rates, invite a friend, or two or three of similar level for a small group lesson!

Skills you can learn include:

• Climbing and descending techniques

• Shifting and pedaling efficiency

• Braking control and modulation

• Cornering and body positioning

• Balance and slow-speed control

• Building and maintaining momentum

• Navigating varied terrain with confidence

• Trail awareness and line choice
