In the States, the League of American Bicyclists sponsors such classes. They are called Road Skills... Perhaps some of our Canadien members can help suggesting something? Here in the Boston area, we also have a couple of Bicycle schools that teach skills to all ages. I think Hirakukibou had an 80 y/o client one time!
Who told you that Kuotas crash, break, and cause bad injuries more than other carbon bikes? My husband and I have had Kuotas since 2006. I have crashed more than once and have never had an issue. Stop listening to these people! Now, my crashes were not at super high speed, but still. DH's carbon Trek 550 *did* get half a broken fork in maybe 2004, when a squirrel ran into him on a 40 mph descent. However, he was not hurt, and he just replaced the fork. If you think about this stuff all of the time, you will never ride. It's called catastrophizing...
One hint is to look into outdoor clubs. The club I lead rides for is part of one. Hiking, paddling, x country skiing are the other activities. Cycling is a bit more relaxed with these groups. Our "slower" rides average 10-12 mph.
