Bicycle On-Street Skills (Level 4)

If you have mastered the basic skills like starting, stopping, and turning, and you have familiarity with using hand signals and shifting gears, come to a free Street Skills clinic for Boston residents who identify as women or gender expansive. This class builds from the skills practiced in our Road Readiness clinics. We’ll ride as a group on streets with low-speed traffic, learning how to start and stop safely at traffic signals, ride a safe distance from parked cars and moving vehicles, communicate with other road users, and make turns at intersections. This class is open to people of all genders. Participants are welcome (but not required) to take Road Readiness and Street Skills on the same day. 

If you cannot yet ride independently across a parking lot, have not mastered stopping and starting smoothly, or are unable to use hand signals, please do not register for this workshop. Our Basic Skills class is more appropriate.

This month’s theme invites you to write a letter to your past or future self; a moment to reflect on where you’ve been, where you are, and where you’re going. What would you say to a younger version of yourself? What wisdom, care, or questions might you offer your future?

We’ll move from writing into shared reflection... creating space to learn from one another’s journeys, hopes, and reflections. Together, we’ll build a living bridge across generations, grounded in storytelling and collective care.

Over light bites and warm drinks, LGBTQ+ community members of all ages are invited to connect, share, and celebrate the power of living our truths out loud.

☕ Conversation. Community. Connection.

Presented by: Ethos; Queer History Boston; The Pryde; LGBTQ Senior Housing, LGBTQ+ Elders of Color, and The City of Boston’s Mayor’s Office of LGBTQIA2S+ Advancement, Age Strong Commission, and Office of Youth Engagement and Advancement.
