Better Cycling Workshop by Local Motion

Curious about biking to work but not sure where to start? This beginner-friendly bike commuter workshop is designed for anyone who’s new to—or just thinking about—bike commuting. We’ll cover route planning, bike and gear essentials, safety tips, and practical ways to make commuting by bike fit into your daily routine. Whether your goal is to save money, reduce stress, or choose a more sustainable way to get to work, this workshop will help you feel confident and ready to ride.

As part of UVM’s Bike Month celebration, UVM employees and students who sign up for the June or July Smart Cycling Series will receive a 50% discount. Smart Cycling is a three-session workshop series led by Local Motion that builds the skills and confidence needed to ride safely on the road and in traffic. Sessions run from 6–8 p.m. on Monday evenings in June and July.
