This course provides information on the vehicle and traffic laws of NYS and how they apply to bicyclists. We will cover common collision scenarios and how to avoid them, discuss safe riding techniques and provide lights and other resources to keep bicyclists safe on the streets.
Whether you are a new or experienced cyclist, our Road I class gives cyclists the confidence needed to ride safely and legally in traffic or on the trail and prepares cyclists for a full understanding of vehicular cycling.
The class features both classroom and on-the-road training so bring your bike and helmet (required to ride).
Note to RBC Ride Leaders: you will receive a volunteer point for attending the clinic, besides becoming a more-knowledgeable ride leader and better cyclist.
Presented by the New York Bicycling Coalition, in cooperation with the Monroe County Office of Traffic Safety, the Rochester Bicycling Club, and the American Diabetes Association

Hey Bruce: I saw your note about leading rides on the Canal. We are not doing the group ride in June. My son and I are riding the canal in late July or early August.
Maybe we’ll stop in Rochester for lunch with you, and visit Jason at Rochester Bike.
