Ride with Me Series – Beginner to Intermediate Bike Ride w/Sarah Azizkhani
Sarah Azizkhani (she/her) may have learned how to ride a bike only three months ago in July, but she’s already discovered the freedom and joy that biking offers, thanks to the amazing folks at Winnipeg Trails. Along the way, she’s made wonderful friends and built a passion for the biking community.
When she’s not biking, Sarah enjoys capturing the world around her through photography and watercolor painting. One of her dreams is to have her first bike and ride around the world, painting the beautiful scenes she discovers in her sketchbook. For now, she’s thrilled to lead this ride and share her journey with you!
Sarah’s love for exploring the city doesn’t stop at biking—she’s also a big fan of local ice cream shops! On this ride, she’ll take you to one of her favorite ice cream spots in Winnipeg, where you can cool down and enjoy a sweet treat together. If you’re looking for a recommendation, don’t hesitate to ask Sarah!
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?
