We just received a note that the Northwest Cycling Club, in conjunction with League of American Bicyclists, is offering a class designed to teach adult cyclists how to use a bicycle with confidence and competence for pleasure, utility, and sport under various highway, climate, terrain, and traffic conditions.

The class is organized into three levels:
A. The Basics

  1. The Bicycle
  2. Maintenance
  3. Clothing and Equipment
  4. Bicycle Handling

B. Bicycling in Traffic

  1. Your Role in Traffic
  2. Avoiding Crashes
  3. Hazard Avoidance Maneuvers

C. Enjoying the Ride

  1. Riding Enjoyment
  2. Ride Etiquette
  3. Helping Motorists Share the Road

You will need your bike, helmet and comfortable riding clothes. At the end of the course is a brief ride for practicing skills learned.

There is a pre-requisite for this hands-on course – you must complete the online ‘classroom’ portion. This is available at www.bikeed.org.
