PURPOSE / DESCRIPTION
Purpose
The Department of Physical Education provides an
introduction to cycling course as an avenue for
promoting health and fitness for a lifetime. This
course is also intended to promote confidence and
warrior ethos attitudes in cadets through a series of
physically and mentally challenging tasks foreign to the
beginning cyclist.
Course
Description
Cycling as a lifetime sport, is designed to take the
beginner through a progressive program of training and
instruction to include proper mounting, balance,
turning, ascending, and descending individually and in a
group. The course labs are hands-on and focused on
learning through practical application and drills on the
bike. All riders are also introduced to basic bike
maintenance and required to demonstrate baseline skills
in preventative maintenance checks and services (PMCS).
Classroom instruction is focused on the introduction of
cycling principles and as a feedback forum for the
riding labs.
