Ride with Me Series – Beginner to Intermediate Bike Ride w/Vinh Huynh

RSVP HERE

Vinh Huynh has lived in Winnipeg since 1987 and for the last 22 years he has been a West End resident. He is currently serving as principal of Gordon Bell High School
Vinh started as an avid bike rider in 1996 when he would commute to his school on his mountain bike and has continued to ride since that time. In 2019, he and his wife visited Netherlands where they experienced the bike culture and infrastructure. Upon his return, he adapted to bike riding as a way of moving safely and respectfully in the City of Winnipeg. A key part of this way of being is to dress for the destination. He has been commuting through all four seasons for the last three years.

These rides are for everyone and are particularly well suited for the beginner rider who may benefit from a bit of coaching. Along with a special guest and destination, each ride will include a cycling instructor to offer tips and tricks and make sure you are comfortable. Not sure the rules of the road? Wanna learn more about a kind of riding? Don’t know the best routes? Join us for a fun way to get familiar. If you can pedal and stop, why not take it to the next level and go for a ride?

Consider this an intermediate bicycle lesson disguised in a little adventure.

Q. I don’t have a bicycle, can I participate?

A. Yes please! We have bicycles, cargo trikes, tandems, and handcycles available at the starting location for rent by donation.

Q. I can pedal but not confidently. Can I participate?

A. Yes! We will go slow and make sure everyone is comfortable. We will take breaks and keep the distances short. A coach will be along for the ride to offer tips. This is how you can learn.

Q. I have a bike but it needs minor repair/adjustment.

A. Bring it to us, if it is a simple repair/adjustment we will help you on the spot, if a major adjustment we can take a look at it but bring it in early or rent one of ours while your bike gets looked at.
