About the Bike Teachers Philosophy
For me personally, I some times have a hard time tearing myself away from my work, its different for me when I have someone to go riding with though. It's a lot easier to get the average person to venture out bike riding if they know they have some one to go riding with!
| The philosophy behind free bike classes came about from what I perceived to be a missing link in the Los Angeles area bicycle culture- I believe that more people would get back on their bike and riding again if they had a practical and user friendly support group. Most cycling events, bike clubs, bike skill’s clinics usually have some sort of registration up fee required in order to participate. I feel strongly that by hosting free events this will attract a new group of people who may not other wise get regularly evolved in cycling activities. If we give people a good reason to get back on the bike, they may have fun and start a riding on a more regular basis? These grass roots cycling activity is being provided by the riders for the riders. This being our first year, we are hoping to develop a social network of contributors, volunteers, supporters and sponsors to help grow this community sporting activity. We are seeking out (inviting) local expert riders to help host future Bike Teacher classes. It would be great if we could get the local area bike shops and bike industry members to join in and help grow this new program. Please join me and together we will get more people back riding the bike, having fun and living a more active and healthier life style.

Getting started mountain bike riding can be a challenge; the average person that's interested in riding Mountain Bikes does not usually know where the new rider friendly trails are located. The Bike Teachers have been riding the local area mountains for years; we are your local trail guides.
Some people need just a little bit of extra motivation to get them out of the house- we think that we may just have the right stuff to get some of you out the door and headed out riding for a couple hours.
