Learn to #RideBreeze & Community Ride


We are coordinating with local partners for this monthly Learn to #RideBreeze & Community Ride.

Class is open to current and prospective Breeze members.

You’ll learn how to use the Breeze bike share system, including checking out, locking, flexibility of “out of station” and “hold” features, multiple bike check out on one account and more! We’ll then take a short tour of Santa Monica bike infrastructure to demonstrate how some of these features work and can be used. You’ll also learn basic bike safety tips and Rules of the Road to help reduce conflicts and keep your rides SAFE & FUN — all while enjoying the community and connecting with Bike Local businesses. Surely to be a day of fun and excitement. At this months event we will visit and get a short tour of the Virginia Ave Park Farmers Market.

Registration is FREE but required — Please click here to RSVP today! Attendees must be 16* or over (*under 18 must accompanied by parent or guardian and wear a helmet) You will be sent registration and event information.
