Book a Smart Cycling Class for Your Staff, Colleagues, or Students


Want to encourage your co-workers, colleagues, parents, or students to try bicycling for transportation or recreation – or just provide them with information on how to bicycle safely and confidently?

Fear and/or lack of knowledge about safe bicycling can be a barrier for some, and the SCBC/SRTS program wants to help break that barrier down. Our expert League of American Bicyclist Certified instructors are available to teach classes, conduct presentations, and/or lead discussions for groups of adults, teens or children, anywhere in Sonoma County, whether it is a school, workplace, church, or other organization. We will customize a class to suit your desired focus, time, space, and number of participants. Please contact Tina Panza to request a class session.

New Pump Track Coming to Santa Rosa's Northwest Community Park!

Through an agreement with the Recreation and Parks Department, the volunteer group was granted permission to construct the pump track to the east of the dog park. Prior to construction, the group donated an approved plan and necessary permit requirements to build the pump track.
