Its content and methodology were modeled after state and provincial government standards for defensive driving courses.

With more than 21 years’ experience as an instructor, the primary course developer has been both a Master Instructor with the League of American Bicyclists and a National Examiner with the Canadian Cycling Association (now Cycling Canada).

"This is such an excellent resource. I’ve been commuting to school/work for 12 years and consider myself to be a pretty good rider, but I learned so much here. I’ve read plenty of things online and even a few books, but this addressed a lot of concerns I had and presented new info in a way that’s easy to comprehend (the graphics and videos helped a lot).

"I liked that I could go back in when I wanted and it kept my place.

"I’ve been trying out what I learned on my rides this week, and it’s already making a big difference. Thanks!"

— Stephen R.

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. ...
