Many Bike Ed classes upcoming in Missouri

A large number of Bicycle Education classes are scheduled over this summer--maybe the most we've ever had in Missouri.
Many are sponsored by the GetAbout Columbia project/non-motorized pilot project.
See the complete list here.

Why take a Bike Ed Class?
One very experienced cyclist wrote this after taking the Bike Ed class:
I found that after taking Road I, I experienced far fewer conflicts on the roads.
After riding for years I decided to sit in on the course and learned that I a) rode too close to parked cars b) did not move left enough at intersections to avoid right hooks, or close calls c) was uncomfortable about my maneuvers to get into the position to make left hand turns d) did not operate my brakes efficiently.
All of these things were subtle, but once I began to practice my newly learned skills, the negative experiences dissipated greatly.
