Register for StreetCycling Road
I
 Every
cyclist who takes to the road has the same rights and duties
as a motor-vehicle operator. As such, it is imperative that
learning to ride involves more than just learning to balance. Our
training includes your legal rights and the five layers of prevention:,
- Bike Control: Avoid falls or collisions
with others
- Observe Rules: Make safe driving decisions
- Lane Positioning: Encourage other drivers'
safe decisions
- Evasive Maneuvers: Evade other drivers'
unsafe decisions
- Injury Reduction: Protect your body
The training in these areas will help avoid
95% of the typical crashes experienced by cyclists. The basic
course (Road I) is recommended and designed for cyclists who
desire to ride safely in traffic and also for professional civil
engineers and planners working with bicycle infrastructure projects.

 Bicycles
are an environmental friendly form of transportation and recreation.
However, care must be taken to treat the environment gently,
even on a bicycle. Mountain bikers can benefit from our program
which offers an understanding the IMBA rules of the trail, some
basic bike mechanics and basic handling skills.
StreetCycling instructors are certified
by the League of American Bicyclists to teach traffic cycling
to children and adults (both cyclists and motorists); in groups
or individuals; on road or mountain bikes. Our team includes
the Chair of the League of American Bicyclists' education committee,
author of numerous papers and curricula on bicycle safety education
and recipient of the "National Education Award 2002"
from the League of American Bicyclists.
Bicycle education fees vary from a 9-12 hour
adult group program starting at $65 per rider to training community
volunteers to conduct traffic cycling camps for school children
in grades K-8. Fees for training and participation in one four-hour
community cycling camp session begin at $1,000.
The community traffic cycling camp will require
a significant amount of volunteer effort.
