Better Biking I

Date: Saturday, May 24, 2008
Instructor: Jim Nicholson
Location: 37 East Allendale Avenue, Allendale, NJ 07401
Fee: Cost is $45 per participant

Description: A full-day of cycling instruction for beginning to intermediate cyclists, equivalent to the LAB Road One course. The first two hours of the course will be in the classroom and will cover general information about cycling, signaling, cycling safety, road positioning and turning safely. There will be time for questions and answers. We will then go outside to play, covering topics such as choosing the correct bike, fitting your bike and basic mechanical checks to perform before your ride. Following a short lunch break, we will continue with on-bike skills work, including practicing emergency maneuvers, and on-road vehicular cycling practice. There will also be a 30 question multiple-choice test to demonstrate what you have learned. The course will be taught by two League Cycling Instructors, Kevin Ruane and Jim Nicholson. If you plan to move on to more advanced L.A.B. courses, or intent to pursue the League Cycling Instructor certification, this course will satisfy the pre-requisite training needed.
