Power Cycling: How to ride your bike safely in traffic
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?
Power Cycling is a 3-hour course offered to all Students by SAMOHI Solar Alliance / SAMOHI Bike Coalition on Thursday, 17 September, at 3:30 pm. After a short classroom introduction we will work on those bike handling skills and essential maneuvers. Students will learn the tricks which keep you safe on the road: how to effectively control the traffic around you by changing your own behavior in traffic. 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!
Bring a friend. The cost of this course is $12 for two cyclists if you register together. Single signups $ 8, financial assistance available.
To register, send an email to velocipedus@gmail.com, including names and email addresses of you and your friend. The waiver form is here, it must be signed by the parents of each participant. The fee is due at the day of the class. Those not in possession of a helmet (it’s the law!) can buy one before the course starts (10$)
Dear Parents!
We are offering a safe cycling course at SAMOHI on Thursday, September 17th. The course is taught in accordance with the curriculum of the League of American Cyclists and introduces your son/daughter to the principles of vehicular cycling: Visible, Predictable, Assertive, Alert. We encourage the students to explore alternatives to motorized traffic, and find a safe place on the road. The cost of the class is 12$ for two students. Please sign the waiver and make sure your son/daughter brings it to school on that day, together with a helmet.
