Campaigners! I hope you are all well in this frigid new year.
Our first LCI, Eve Seibert, will be teaching two Traffic Skills 101 courses in preparation for new LCI candidates, and there are spaces available in both classes!
WHAT: TS 101, Gives cyclists the confidence they need to ride safely and legally in traffic or on the trail. The course covers bicycle safety checks, fixing a flat, on-bike skills and crash avoidance techniques and includes a student manual. Recommended for adults and children above age fourteen, this fast-paced, nine-hour course prepares cyclists for a full understanding of vehicular cycling.
WHEN: Jan 9-10 and Jan 23-24.
Saturday 9-4 and Sunday 12-4 each weekend.
WHY: Ride safe.
WHERE: Downtown Savannah, 645 E Broughton.
HOW (much): All are responsible for the $10 book. The course is otherwise free to current Savannah Bicycle Campaign members. We ask nonmembers to consider joining or giving a donation. If you would like to take the course, please let Eve know and indicate which weekend, as each class is limited to 10 participants.
Furthermore, we are pleased that with the support of the city of Savannah, a League Cycling Instructor certification (See below or here for LCI details) course is being held in Savannah the weekend of Feb 19-21. It will begin in the late afternoon on Friday and extend through Sunday afternoon.
You need to be an League of American Bicyclists member ($35) to take the LCI certification and have taken TS101/Road I (see above for available times). The $200 course registration will be paid by the city of Savannah in return for your commitment to at least 3 classes in Savannah over the next 3 years. It’s a great way to serve your community through education, so if you or someone you know may be interested, we’d love to have you join us!
Online registration for LCI certification through the League of American Bicyclists is available at this link. Please contact us if you are interested in having Savannah pay for your certification, and pleave us a comment or send an email if you would like more info.
Stay warm and ride safe!
