Neighborhood bike rodeo The Center for Cycling Education

You can provide your group’s or neighborhood’s kids with practical skills in handling their bikes, scanning and signaling, as well as operating their bike like a vehicle in a controlled (off-street) traffic simulation.

Knowledgeable instructors

Teaching the right skills in the right way, and in a safe manner is key to a successful event.

Our certified, experienced instructors can help you and your volunteers teach bicycle safety skills and drills for elementary-aged children.

Our instructors have extensive cycling and training experience, having completed (at a minimum) the League of American Bicyclists’ 9-hour Traffic Skills 101 course as well as the two-and-a-half day League Cycling Instructor training.

Although the total cost of the instructor will vary depending on the scope of training needed and the number of participants, the Austin Cycling Association can provide $200 toward this cost. The fee for one instructor for a two- to three-hour event is $350, leaving only $150 to be paid by your group. This fee includes instructor time for advance preparation as well as course set-up and take-down. Please note that for some larger-scale events, two instructors may be required.
