BikeDenver is pleased to present our 3rd Traffic skills 101, a League of American Bicyclists certification course that will be hosted at The Alliance Center (1536 Wynkoop Street) from 6-9pm on Nov. 9, 16, and 23.

Course Description: The Traffic Skills 101 class teaches cyclists the proven techniques they need to ride safely and legally in traffic or on the trail. The class covers bicycle safety checks, fixing a flat, on-bike skills and crash avoidance techniques and includes a student manual. This fast-paced, nine-hour, insured certification course presents the tools you need via a half-classroom, and half on-bike experience to give you a full understanding and confidence in vehicular cycling.

The course will be taught by BikeDenver League Cycling Instructors (LCIs). LCIs are League of American Bicyclists (LAB) certified experts in bicycle education and safety. Traffic Skills 101 is a prerequisite for LAB Instructor classes.  BikeDenver trainers have certified 23 Traffic Skills 101 participants and 10 new LCI’s in 2009.

The course fee of $75 covers your manual and instructor fees.

Participants will need to bring their own bicycle and helmet and be prepared to ride in cold weather.

Sessions will be held in the evening in the 3rd Floor Conference room from 6-9pm on three successive Mondays, November 9, 16, and 23.

Refreshments will be provided.

Bike parking is available outside and inside the building.

Class size is limited to 15 to ensure a 5:1 Instructor ratio.
