Cycle Kingston offers a free online course on the basics of cycle commuting. This self-paced online course is for those who are new to or would like to start riding a bicycle as their preferred mode of transportation – to work, to school, for shopping, go out to eat, see a movie, or live performance or event, to name a few. Topics covered include: types of and equipment for commuter bicycles; checking your bike for roadworthiness; clothing and safety; how to carry what you need; riding in various weather and light conditions; basic route selection and planning, and more!
