I haven't been able to find one in my area. I can't believe there isn't one. I live in a state that is #2 or #3 (I don't remember which) in the nation for being bicycle-friendly, and I'm in one of the biggest cities in that state. I can't believe there isn't something. But so far, no luck.
I have found a list of instructors linked with
this website, but I think I'm going to go out there and at least try some of the stuff I've been watching. I've spent so much money on the bike and gear that I don't really have surplus right now.
