Cycle with confidence in 2009!
- Spring is just around the corner. Just the time to be thinking about getting back
on your bike! Why not make next year your best cycling year ever? More miles, more smiles, more fun. And a great way to
kick off a spectacular year is by taking a cycling course. Cycle in traffic with confidence. Learn the basic safety procedure, the
A-B-C-Quick Check, that you should perform before each ride. Pick up the tips that will help you ride as safely as possible on our
busy roads (or just, perhaps, re-learn them. We can all use a refresher course!)
II will be offering several courses developed by the League of American Bicyclists (see courses listed at right and go here for more information on each). 2008 was a very successful year as I was able to reach almost 100 students, teaching here in NJ, as well as teaching for Bike New York and the Capitol Region of Governments in Hartford, CT. I hope to expand on those numbers next year.
Come out for a ride...
In 2009, in addition to teaching, I plan to lead of series of rides for prospective students (most will be through the Bicycle Touring Club of North Jersey, or BTCNJ). Non-BTCNJ members are free to come along on these initial rides - although if you decide to continue riding with the club, they will ask that you join.On these rides, we will discuss basic bicycle safety and riding techniques, and you can learn more about the cycling classes.
Look for info on these rides here and also on my rides page.
