NOTE: This is an on-bike session so please bring your bike and come ready to ride!

While the phrase "as easy as riding a bike" might lead you to believe that cycling is as simple as turning the pedals while staying upright, most riders suffer from poor cycling form - without even realizing it. Learning the essential yet underrated skills of efficient pedaling technique and proper gearing will not only allow you to climb hills easier, but it will also help you to ride faster - with less effort! It will also aid in preventing injuries and will increase your general enjoyment of the sport of cycling.

In this clinic we will discuss proper cycling form, ascending and descending techniques, and provide on-the-bike instruction at one of our favourite downtown hill training locations. The clinic is geared towards riders at all levels of cycling experience. Yes, that means you.

Meeting spot: Southern entrance to Sunnybrook Hospital at 2075 Bayview Ave (northeast corner of Bayview Ave and Blythwood Rd). After an introduction, the clinic will move behind the hospital, to the hill leading into Sunnybrook Park. (map)
