Traffic Skills 101

[Josh Karns]

Hey all,

I'm offering Traffic Skills 101 at In Gear Cycling and Fitness in
Hummelstown on May 21-22.

This is a 9 hour class that covers everything you need to safely ride
on the road in a fast-paced, experiential format. The class includes
classroom instruction, practice drills in a parking lot, and an on-
road ride to put our skills to use.

Even if you've been riding for years, this class can be useful to
reinforce good technique or pick up some new tips.

Plus, if you've ever considered become a League Cycling Instructor
yourself, TS 101 is the prerequisite to getting that certification.

We are offering the class for $10. This is SUPER LOW for 9 hours! The
class typically runds $30-50 a person. The bulk of the class is being
funded by a mini-grant from the Department of Health. The $10 is more
of a reservation fee to ensure that you are committed to coming. All
proceeds are being rolled into future bicycle education programming
after the grant has expired.

Registration is here: http://pawalksandbikes.org/education

I hope that some of you can make it!

I'm also looking for prospective locations on the West Shore to offer
this class. Does anyone have any leads. We need a room capable of
holding a small group, plus a parking lot where we can practice drills
before the on-road ride.

Spread the word!

Places to have class can depend on paying a fee or not.  Lemoyne Borough usually charges $50 for their large meeting room for each day of usage.  Don't know cost of other smaller room.  There is an adjacent parking lot.

 

 Would think that West Shore churches would be a really good source.  New Cumberland Baughman Methodist hosts a lot of community events plus the New Cumberland Park is only a couple of blocks down the street.  City Island has plenty of parking space on weekends as long as you're not competing with a baseball game or other big event.  Don't know details of meeting rooms.  There is a Grace Methodist Church in Lemoyne just off Third Street that has large parking lot and meeting rooms as well.  West Shore Evan Free Church on Williams Grove Rd has a huge parking lot and plenty of rooms in the church to meet.

PS I don't have specific contact info except for Lemoyne Borough and doubt I can get the fee removed.
