LAB Traffic Safety 101

“Cyclists fare best when they act as and are treated as drivers of vehicles.” The League of American Bicyclists uses this approach as the basis of their cycling education programs. Their course, TS101, provides instruction and guidance in the basic principles of vehicular bicycling. The course includes 8 hours of classroom discussion and parking lot activities, combined with on-road practice of the principles of vehicular bicycling. Course instructors are certified by the League of American Bicyclists who have years of cycling experience and specific training.

In this course, you will learn about:

• Choosing an appropriate bicycle, how your bike works, and the basics of maintaining it
• Skills to ride and control your bike, especially focused on hazard avoidance maneuvers
• Cycling clothing and accessories, and the importance of helmets
• Obeying and following rules of the road and traffic principles

Course cost is $55.
