Our mission is to inspire individuals to use the bicycle as transportation and provide a welcoming space to learn the skills and knowledge needed to ride safely, effectively, and confidently wherever you’re headed. We take the fear out of urban cycling!
In 2009, the City of Olympia received grant funds and partnered with the Capital Bicycling Club to develop a bicycle education program. In 2010, the City handed the program over to the Capital Bicycling Club with the City as a partner. Our goal is to instill confidence in anybody who desires to ride, by educating them on safe and effective cycling. With the City’s goals of creating a multi-modal transportation system and the Club’s long time support of cycling in all forms, the workshops were a sure success. In our first year, we educated over 140 people from the Olympia area. We aim to grow this program in 2010, teaching more people how to ride effectively in traffic situations, contributing to a healthy transportation system.
