Ride with Me Series – Beginner to Intermediate Bike Ride w/Hafiz
Hafiz (He/They) moved to Winnipeg in 2015, to go the U of M as an international student, and now lives and works in the city’s West End.
“I’ve been biking since I could walk, it’s always been an expression of freedom, and a way to move through my community while remaining connected to the changing landscape and the people I share that space with.”
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.
