Knowing where to position a bike on the roadway for high visibility and how to communicate with motorists are the most critical cycling skills you can learn. Learning about motorist and bicycle accident statistics will help cyclists understand the importance of practicing specific safe principles in traffic. After completing this course, the student will view “Sharing the Road” in a completely new light, be it behind the wheel of a car or on their bike. This course is for anyone concerned about riding with traffic and for seasoned cyclists who have never learned how to effectively negotiate with motorist.This is also recommended for motorist interested in “sharing the road” safely with cyclists. Students do not need to bring their bikes to Module One.
