Road I Class in Kansas City October 9th
Submitted by Brent Hugh on Mon, 09/13/2004 - 7:00am
Simply knowing how to ride a bike is not the same as knowing how to operate a bike safely and legally.
For the first time in some years a League of American Bicyclists Road I Class will be offered in the Kansas City area. The class is based on research showing that experienced bicyclists who follow the rules of the road are something like 20 times safer in traffic than those who don't follow the rules, and that these basic rules can be taught and learned pretty easily.
This basic 9 hour course is perfect as a primer for those cyclists who wish to gain a full understanding of how to safely operate a bicycle in a variety of situations. The 9 hour class includes learning how to perform a bicycle safety check, fixing a flat, interactive discussion, on-bike skills practice and student manual. Students will gain confidence knowing that they are riding legally and safely. Crash avoidance techniques and crash types will be discussed. Recommended for adults and children above 14.
The 9-hour class will be Saturday, October 9th starting at 8AM. Cost is $35. Place is the Bike and Trikes Warehouse, Upper level-South side of the Blue Ridge Mall (I-70 & Sterling, 4200 Blue Ridge Blvd, KCMO). Teacher is certified League Cycling Instructor Michael Neven (LCI #1068). Mike is also a USA Cycling certified coach and races with the Bicycle Shack racing team. Many of you know Mike from the Saturday morning rides at Longview Lake.
Several of the MoBikeFed board members and I took the class in Springfield recently, and I can recommend it as being interesting and useful even for experienced bicyclists. The course is required of anyone who wishes to advance and become a League Cycling Instructor.
Class size is limited, so if you would like to attend, please contact nevenspin@earthlink.net and send a $10 deposit as soon as possible to: Michael Neven, LCI, 14321 Peterson Rd. Kansas City, MO 64149. Make check payable to: Michael Neven, LCI.
