Cycling is hard. Muscles ache. But worse still is the lack of respect many drivers have for cyclists. They just do not see you, they overtake dangerously. Cars turn without looking, doors fly open, all this intimidates and frightens. But are cyclists really powerless?
Safe Cycling is a 2-hour course is offered again to all Students by SAMOHI Solar Alliance / SAMOHI Bike Coalition on Thursday, 8 October at 3:30 pm. After a short classroom introduction with an original eyewitness account on what to do when a car brings you down, we will work on those essential bike handling skills and maneuvers. Students will learn the tricks which keep you safe on the road: how to effectively control the traffic around you by changing your position in the lane. Eye contact. Show teeth. All is revealed. You already know how to ride a bike, now learn to cycle proud, and learn how fear can put you into real danger on the road.
We meet at T 109. Please bring your bike and helmet to the classroom. Snacks will be provided. Free Bike Pins!
This week we offer the class free of charge. To register, please send an email to velocipedus@gmail.com. Waiver form not required, because we will not leave the campus
