Cycle-Safe Basics: online Zoom training, Wednesday 6:30pm
We encourage safety training for everyone. A little bit of information could go a long way toward preventing the unthinkable! We encourage you to participate in one of our NHCC Cycle-Safe Basics (online) sessions. There will be two opportunities to choose from:
Wednesday April 13th, 6:30pm, or
Wednesday April 20th, 6:30pm
The Cycle-Safe Clinic is about 1.5 to 2 hours long and delivered by Dennis and Anita who are both formally trained cycling safety instructors. This theory will cover essential safety principles and group riding techniques to help you build confidence in riding with a group and in traffic safely. You’ll be in a great position to put it into practice on Club rides when you come out! You will be introduced to:
- Cycling and the Law
- Basic Bicycle Inspection
- Traffic Cycling Principles
- Where do you ride
- Lane positioning
- Intersections
- Rules of the Road
- Right and Left turns
- Group Riding
RSVP: Email us and we’ll send you the Zoom invite. Easy! Secretary@northumberlandhillscyclingclub.com
