I’m teaching my class, “The Practical Cyclist,” again this Saturday, July 18, 11 am, in Welch, Minnesota (see Google map). The location is the Welch trailhead facility on the Cannon Valley Trail. The class will be approximately an hour, then we’ll take a ride on the trail. Weather forecast: partly sunny, 72 degrees. Perfect!

Here is a course description:

The Practical Cyclist

Designed for those who want to replace car trips with cycling trips or simply travel sustainably and enjoyably, this classroom-based course will examine the advantages of cycling; potential obstacles; equipment and strategies; safety issues; and cycling advocacy. This is not intended to be a road skills course. Taught by Bill Ostrem, who has been a “practical cyclist” for over twenty years and has served as chair of the Northfield Area Task Force on Nonmotorized Transportation.
