Riding a bike should be FUN! You shouldn't feel 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 need to understand what we're doing. We've got baggage - anxiety, a job to go to on Monday, and the embarrassment of feeling that we don't know what we're doing. This, of course, can be frustrating. Enter Savvy Bike! Since 2001, we've taught thousands of individuals bike skills instruction to ride their bikes better. We can unravel this mystery for you. By understanding essential cycling techniques, we've broken down the physics of cycling, allowing you to work WITH your bike instead of against it. You will become the pilot, not the passenger, and you'll learn how 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 focused on performance coaching. You’ll understand how to ride by seeing, hearing, doing, and practicing your new skills. Each participant receives an extensive written resource for reference before and after each clinic. You'll learn the why and the how, enjoy plenty of practice time, and 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.

Bike Skills 201 was awesome! Just what I needed. The bike skills instruction, especially the practice drills focused on climbing and descending skills, were the best way to learn those essential cycling techniques. This performance coaching truly helped enhance my biking abilities.
You definitely changed my life yesterday! I’m eager for more performance coaching after I practice the bike skills instruction from the Bike 101 course and improve my cycling techniques.
I’m more comfortable on the bike in one day than I have been in a year of riding, thanks to effective bike skills instruction.

Even though I have been riding a road bike for about ten years, this bike skills instruction clinic was incredibly valuable! Lorri helped me feel more confident handling my bike, especially in emergency situations. This clinic focuses on essential cycling techniques and is not just for beginners.
Belated THANK YOU for the Saturday Clinic! Your bike skills instruction and performance coaching methodology are solid, and I really enjoyed the cycling techniques you taught. Thank you for giving me the courage to be successful.
I am so thankful and happy that I took your bike skills instruction clinic. I rode with the team today, and I feel so much more confident on the bike. My bike handling has significantly improved, especially on turns. Before, I would lose people in the group, but now I can keep up thanks to the cycling techniques you shared. I was reflecting on all the tips you provided during the performance coaching session yesterday.
