BikeVentura

This is a long standing BikeVC tradition- The ride is an easy paced city ride to a couple of local Ventura Brew houses, most rides are approximately 11-14 miles long .
The ride meets at The Ventura Bike Hub (490 N. Ventura Ave) at 1:00 PM and finishes around 4:00 PM – These rides are seasonal (Spring, Summer and Fall) and generally are planned for the second Sunday of each month.
Always check our Meetup group for updates, as plans can change.

The City of Ventura, BikeVentura, and Trek Ventura are offering a free-to-the-public bike safety training. Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

This one-day (4 hour) skill course is your chance to learn safety, maintenance, road lane positioning, and bike handling. Our skilled instructors, certified by the League of American Bicyclists, will help you gain greater confidence and have more fun on all your bike rides.

This class is for adults, who can ride a bike, or adult-accompanied children. The program includes classroom session, then outdoor on-bike skills training, and a group ride on carefully selected city streets.

Even the most experienced bicyclists are going to learn important skills, such as:

• Proper Bike and Helmet Fit
• Riding safely, visibly and predictably with traffic
• Communicating with car drivers
• Your rights and responsibilities on the road
• Emergency Maneuvers
• Across-Town Route Selection
• What to bring on every ride
• Fix a flat, maintain your bike and more

By successfully completing this course Trek will give each participant a chance to win a new Trek bicycle.

During the class, Trek will provide a free safety check to make sure your bike is shifting smoothly and the brakes work properly. In addition, enjoy coffee, snacks and excellent safety training by professional instructors.

A working bicycle and helmet are required.
