Traffic Skills 101—the short-duration course that helps you develop skills to cycle Long Beach streets more safely—is taught by instructors (LCI’s) who are certified by the League of American Bicyclists. The course at CSULB Pyramid Annex is free, but advance registration is required. Click EDUCATION at the top of the longbeachcyclsts.com page for more information and to link to the CSULB web site to register.
This will be will be the last opportunity to take Traffic Skills 101 in Long Beach this summer.
By the way, the photograph was lifted from the cover of the Smart Cycling pamphlet of the League of American Bicyclists. Given that the League is based in Washington, D.C., can you identify which building we see in the background? And… can you identify who is the LCI in the photo? Hint, he is well known in the Long Beach cycling community.

Hi All!
We seem to be liked at CSULB. In fact, who wouldn’t like cycling advocacy volunteers giving away free stuff AND free bike inspections? I would like me too. Thanks Students and faculty for another wonderful turn out today; our discussions were lively, educational and political (just what LB Cyclists like) In case any of you were wondering…our next FREE Bike Inspection Days will be on April 21 and May 13 in front of the Bookstore on the grass. (11am to 2pm)
Feel free to contact any of us that were there today: Myself, Shawn, ‘Big’ Josh, Kevin, Allison, and Travis through lbcyclists@gmail.com
Thanks again!
Bernadette
