Preparing for the lesson

You’ll want to make sure the participant (or you, if it’s your lesson) is:

  • well-rested and well-fed. The lesson takes a fair amount of concentration and energy; these are important factors for success.
    • Please avoid scheduling a lesson that will follow another training or sports commitment.
  • provided with water/drinks/snacks to keep them hydrated, and keep their energy up (don’t forget some for anyone accompanying them).

What to wear:

  • pants that are close-fitting at the ankles (to keep them out of the bike’s chain), or
  • shorts (if it’s warm) that are reasonably close-fitting; avoid basketball-style shorts with wide legs and a low crotch, as these can catch on the seat.
  • layered tops to adjust for changes in temperature.
  • closed-toed shoes (not sandals) that fit well and are not loose.
  • sunblock, with enough available for reapplying during the lesson.

Here's a recent review for the 'Traffic Smarts for Cyclists' course. Ten years from when it was first developed, it has undergone massive transformations. Well over 15,000 hours of effort has gone into it, and it has never gone below 5 stars from the beginning.(This is the USA version--the Canadian offering has the same content, yet provides information on Canadian laws as well as different spellings and km vs. miles, etc.)"Although I have years of experience riding in traffic, I still learned a lot from this course. It provides a comprehensive approach that pulls together legal requirements, best practices for safe riding, and the benefits of communication and courtesy. Additionally, it [provides] lots of helpful tips for specific situations, such as narrow lanes and complex intersections. ... See MoreSee Less

And this is the older sister of Murphy (below), who learned to ride shortly before he did. At the end of the morning, they were both riding together.The family had travelled from Regina to their campsite at a local lake north of Saskatoon, and then back to have the lessons for the day. Now the whole family can ride together to various places at the lake, and they've made plans to ride together to the grocery store and other venues.What you don't see is me walking alongside the new riders for a mile or so (or more) with my hand lightly resting on the handlebar stem, and patiently guiding them through every step.After a day of this I am exhausted (I still was when I was twenty years younger), yet I absolutely love these sessions.I don't believe I've done anything more rewarding than this in my life, and there have been several other deeply fulfilling careers. ...

Murphy learning the ropes--this is about a half-hour in.Note that he's learning to ride on a bike with coaster brakes, which takes a lot more attention than using one with handbrakes--yet in the next video, he does it! ... See MoreSee Less
