Bicycle Road Readiness Skills (Level 3)

If you have the basic biking skills like starting, stopping, and turning, but want to build your confidence to ride in the street, come to a free Road Readiness clinic for adults. Our experienced staff and volunteers will help each participant gain skills and confidence so you’re ready to venture onto the street and keep on rolling! This class is taught entirely in a parking lot. We will run through some fun activities to build skills like using hand signals, shifting gears, and riding in a steady line. You’ll get lots of practice and one-on-one support. This class is open to people of all genders, bikes and helmets provided for duration of the workshop, registration required.

If you cannot yet ride independently across a parking lot, please do not register for this clinic. Our Basic Skills class is more appropriate.

There will be a brief speaking program before the start of the Bee where all spellers will receive participation medals.

 Last year, the Bee went 16 rounds plus one final and one championship round. The 13 year-old champion, Sapna Malhotra, won by spelling "Senecio” correctly. The Bee’s longtime sponsor is the Boston Bruins Foundation.
