The Fairfield Bike Walk Coalition and Eastern Mountain Sports are excited to sponsor Fairfield's second Traffic Skills 101 class for bicycle enthusiasts ages 16 and over!
The cost will be $20 for paid FBWC members and $30 for non-members. Traffic Skills 101 covers bike handling skills, crash avoidance techniques, proper lane and intersection positioning in moderate to heavy traffic, and Connecticut traffic law as it pertains to bicyclists. The class also covers basics on how to dress for your cycling activity, what equipment you might need, nutrition, hydration for the longer ride, and bicycle maintenance. All instructors are certified by the League of American Bicyclists. The online class is free and available to all at http://www.bikeed.org/.
The class begins online and then moves outdoors to a practice space on Sunday October 30th from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The free online course (2.5-3.5 hours) must be completed prior to October 30th. Participants of the on-road portion will meet in the parking lot at Eastern Mountain Sports at 1939 Black Rock Turnpike.
