English Classes for Adults
Adult learners can build English skills in a welcoming, conversation-focused class at Marion Aldersgate Church. The program is open to adults from any country, native language, or background. Sessions are interactive and centered on real-life communication, with engaging activities that keep learners involved and motivated. Participants practice everyday English while connecting with classmates and building community. All students complete a brief placement interview on the first day to determine the appropriate level. Classes meet on Tuesdays, pause for a summer break, then continue afterward. There is no tuition, and a $20 fee covers the book and other learning materials. A short registration form is used to collect student information, and confirmations are provided by email or phone.

Tuesday nights are for riding. Join Bike Surgeon for a weekly group ride with three pace options, where the routes change each week. The group ride is designed so riders can choose the pace that fits them best, with clearly defined average speeds for A, B, and C groups. An annual ride waiver is required, and first-timers should arrive a few minutes early to check in and complete the waiver. After the ride, stop by the shop for eats and drinks. Helmets are required during shop rides, and riders are expected to follow the ride etiquette and safety guidelines, including the NO DROP policy.
