Anyone Wanna Teach My Friend to Ride? (CHICAGO)
« on: May 04, 2009, 01:35:37 PM »
I have a friend who is in between jobs for a few weeks and wants to learn how to ride. I would teach him myself, but my motor is still in pieces from a winter rebuild. If anyone has the time and inclination, respond to this thread or PM me.

He does not have a bike, but will pay for the lessons.

Thanks!

He's willing to dress like a woman, if you're into that.

Just kidding!

They do in fact. Its a great course, completely free except for a $20 registration fee which you have the option of getting back or donating it at the end of the course.

Problem is, I believe the release date for all the classes is in Feb.? and they fill up fast. you might still be able to get in a class if you show up and wait for someone not to show.
I believe ISU runs courses throughout the state, and NIU may also.
