Spring means more bicyclists on the road. CAT is the one stop shop for all bicycle education needs, with classes on everything from the basics to becoming a League of American Bicyclists certified instructor. See CAT’s complete list of bicycle education courses for more information: http://www.car-free.org/BIkeSomewhereToday/2008safe.htm
CAT provides literature and assistance to all those interested in bicycle education and bicycle culture. We have distributed more than 10,000 hard copies of the Pennsylvania Bicycle Drivers Manual through bike shops and police departments. This is the best document available when a member of the public asks for the rules for riding a bicycle on the roadway. Bulk copies are available now for your organization.
In addition,
CAT runs classes for any size group with any bicycling goals, reaching
thousands of children and adults over the past decade. Call us today for details. Our newest class this year is motorist
education. Limit your liability and
increase your drivers’ confidence level with our 1 hour program to help your
employees deal with the rapidly increasing number of cyclists on the road. This class is tailored specifically for
different types of drivers, such as police officers, school bus operators and
truckers. 610 954 5744. As the
price of gas goes up the number of bicyclists on the road increases. Be prepared!
As the desire for greater physical activity, more transportation options and a higher quality of life despite increasing fuel prices becomes stronger in our neighborhoods, CAT has developed a comprehensive approach to increasing safe and legal cycling in any community. Our slide presentation of Bicycle Heaven in Bethlehem will show you a powerful four-point program which can be instituted in your municipality easily.
