The NHCC will be offering a 5-evening (10 hours total) comprehensive Cycling Skills and Safety course to both members and non-members. This course has been adapted from the standard Canadian Cycling Association’s Can-Bike2 safe cycling program with some customization to meet the needs of our Club. You will learn to ride defensively, and develop a set of skills and attitudes suitable for riding both individually and in a group, including:
- good traffic judgement and anticipation
- assertiveness in traffic
- knowledge of the rules of the road
- understanding potential hazards
- communication techniques
- collision avoidance techniques
- group riding dynamics and etiquette
The certified Can-Bike instructors delivering the course are confident that even the most experienced cyclist will learn something new and be challenged by the bike handling skills we cover.
Can-Bike 2 Certification (optional):
CanBike2 certification is a pre-requisite if any person wishes to become a Can-Bike instructor at some point in the future. If any participants wish to receive an official CanBike2 certification upon completion of the course, please advise us when you register so that we can arrange to have appropriate training materials and exam on hand for you.
