Course Description:
Bicycling in a group is one of life’s more enjoyable activities when done right. Cyclists have several options for obtaining the knowledge and skills that will make their cycling safe, courteous, efficient and enjoyable. By far the best option is to take the Group Riding Skills course offered by the League of American Bicyclists and a League Cycling Instructor. To ride safely in a group, you should first be familiar with the techniques for riding predictably, on public roadways, as an individual — such skills as proper lane positioning and emergency bike handling. However, cycling in a group places added responsibilities on each cyclist, so all must understand and practice the principles of group riding. This course is designed to give you the principles of group riding so you can safely enjoy riding in the BP MS 150 and other group rides.
