KC: Induro Cycling Club helps bicyclists get a leg up

Kansas City's new Induro Cycling and Cadence Cycling Club are designed to complement regular bicycle clubs and meet a need that is often overlooked--helping cyclists just getting into or returning to the sport develop the skills and endurance needed to join other group or recreational rides.

According to club coordinator Brennan Shirk, they "specialize in assisting folks with the introduction of the sport".

Induro Cycling features indoor sessions that are specifically designed to build endurance and skills for outdoor bicycling. The next step is outdoor bicycle rides in the controlled environment of the downtown airport, designed to help riders move to the next level of skill and confidence.

We will walk you through the necessary steps for you and/or your family and friends to obtain the essentials to becoming an active cyclist or complete the cycling leg of a triathlon. We specialize in equipping beginners to achieve their cycling goals. We can help you obtain a bike and all the necessary accessories and tools needed to hit the road or trail.

Our training sessions are held in no and low traffic areas allowing you a stress free environment.

If you have a friend or relative who would like to get into bicycling but just doesn't quite know how to get started--or someone who showed up to a club ride and got dropped and then discouraged--this looks like an excellent program.
