Architecture & Urbanism of Osborne Village
Join me for a short ride to Osborne Village. Along the way we will talk about some of the architecture in Osborne Village, historical and new and what makes it one of Canada’s best urban neighbourhoods.
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.
