Spring into Riding with On-the-Bike Classes Starting April 2026

*Instructor Amie Powell providers tips to attendees at a Confident City Cycling class.*

We’re teaming up with POGOH bike share to make getting on a bike easier than ever with Confident City Cycling and POGOH 101 and 201 classes!

Coming up soon, May is National Bike Month, and if you need a little confidence to get out on your bike, we’ve got you covered:

‣ POGOH 101 and 201 Classes

If you’re brand new to riding, POGOH‘s classes for adults (and teens over 14) will help you master balancing and pedaling, then build the skills to ride throughout the neighborhood for transportation or recreation. You’ll also become familiar with POGOH’s bike share system and learn how to utilize it to expand your mobility options. You can use a POGOH bike in class or bring your own.

Free bike rentals and helmets are available per request.

‣ Conquer the city on your bike with “Confident City Cycling”

For more experienced bike riders, BikePGH’s Confident City Cycling Classes provide all the skills and knowledge to safely commute in Pittsburgh and beyond. Our City Cycling curriculum covers basic and advanced cycling skills, and best practices for solo and group riding, and includes a culminating group ride that utilizes the best of local bicycle infrastructure.

This class is also a great opportunity for aspiring bike educators and ride leaders to learn the best practices from our certified instructors.

Starting this year, classes run from 5 – 7 pm and feature skill drills and a culminating short bike ride on the streets around Oakland and Shadyside.
