GetAbout Columbia, in partnership with Columbia Parks and Recreation, is offering a free How to Bike with Kids workshop from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday, September 13 at the Armory Sports Center, 701 E. Ash.

Gina Overshiner and Rachel Ruhlen, League of American Bicyclists certified cycling instructors and experienced cycling mothers, will reveal tips on riding with young children as well as how to create the next generation of traffic smart cyclists.  Parents will learn about road positioning in a variety of traffic situations (including when to ride in front of or behind your child) and kid friendly buzz words.  The workshop will take you from cradle to college in teaching your children how to be safe, responsible cyclists.
