Bicycle Safety

A message from League Cycling Instructor (LCI) Louise Colbert-Mar:

Hi everyone.

I wanted to let you know that I am offering a Road I, bicycle safety course in both February and March.

I have one set up already for 2 Saturdays - February 9 and February 16 from 9am to 1-2pm (with lunch). There are a few women whom I rode with in a group called WOW who would like to upgrade their skills to be able to help any new people who what to ride with them.

On the weekend of March 14-16, I will have another class, all on that one weekend. Probably Friday night and Saturday morning. It really doesn't matter how many people are in the class. My class was 4 students (Nick was one). The recent class I helped teach in Madera was 14 students.

Road 1 is a 9-hour class usually over 2-3 days. I like 2 days myself. There is a book, a classroom component, a parking lot emergency skills and 5-miile road tests. Passing grade is 85, I believe on everything. Some people only take the Road 1 course - it's for all levels of cyclists, but primarily beginning.

Let me know if you'd like to take the class (either session). Family members and friends welcome! The cost is 20.00, mainly for the book.

Louise
