Over the course of the day, every student will build a wheel from start to finish.
Smart Cycling – Bicycling Traffic Skills Class
This full-day class provides each student with personal experience and perspective as a cyclist in traffic flow. This course builds intuition on cyclists’ issues such as: door zones, lane positioning, communication with motorists, complex intersections, parking, signage, bike lanes, and multi-use paths/trails. Since all these issues affect cyclist safety and “bikeability” of our cities, this course is a “must”. The course also covers basic bicycle safety check and handling skills which are also an important component of cycling for transportation.
