Traffic Skills 101a is a two-hour classroom presentation consisting of videos, powerpoint, witty-dialogue and lots of Q&A.
Traffic Skills 101b is a three-hour on-road application of the principles discussed in the classroom. Emergency maneuvers, signaling and graduated street navigation are covered. (Bicycle and helmet required.)
Other cycling courses can be arranged to meet your needs. In addition to 101a and 101b, we offer Traffic Skills for the Family (adults and children), Tutoring for the Adult (beginning or advanced levels), Traffic Skills for the Spanish-Speaking Cyclist (varios de nosotros hablamos español, asà que, ¡bienvenidos todos!), and Traffic Skills for specific groups of people, such as employees who cycle to work, etc.  Which courses might best suit your needs?
