Learn to Ride Better with Savvy Bike!

I want to help you have your best day on the bike ever!

Riding a bike should be FUN!  You shouldn't experience fear or anxiety when you ride.  Crashing shouldn't be normalized.


While most of us rode bikes as children, the reality is that we didn't actually LEARN how to ride -- we just did it.  But as adults, it's a bit more challenging.  We have the need to understand what we're doing.  We've got baggage - anxiety, a job to go to on Monday, the embarrassment of feeling that we don't know what we're doing.  And this, of course, frustrates us.


Enter Savvy Bike!  Since 2001, we've taught thousands of individuals how to ride their bikes better.  We can unravel this mystery for you.  We've broken down the physics of cycling so you learn how to work WITH your bike instead of working against it.  You will become the pilot, not the passenger.  And you'll learn to ride safely and confidently.


As a lifelong teacher, Coach Lorri developed a series of 4-hour on-the-bike cycling skills clinics that are safe, fun, and will help you understand how to ride: by seeing, hearing, doing, and practicing your new skillset.  Each participant receives an extensive written resource to refer to before and after each clinic.  You'll learn the why and the how, have plenty of time to practice, and will receive feedback throughout your session.  You'll walk away with a greater understanding of how to ride, what to practice, and with an entirely new level of confidence.

Even though I have been riding a road bike for about ten years, this was such a valuable clinic!  Lorri helped me feel more confident handling my bike especially in an emergency.  This clinic is not just for beginners.

I am so thankful and happy that I took your skills clinic.  I rode with the team today and I have so much more confidence on the bike.  My bike handling is so much better on turns, before I would lose people in the group but now I can keep up.  I was thinking about all the tips you gave yesterday.
