This coming weekend is a big one for Metro’s bicycle safety training classes in L.A. County. Free classes will be held throughout the region, from Downtown L.A. to Long Beach, the San Fernando Valley to the Westside to help more Angelinos bicycle safely on local streets. Sign up now!
Classes run through the end of September and are offered at three different levels. Each class teaches bike safety skills as appropriate to skill levels and includes practice with on-road riding for more advanced riders. Each participants receives a helmet, bicycle light set, and safety manual after completing a course.
Metro announced a $224,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety during Bike Week L.A. to fund more than 150 bicycle safety education classes in the region. More than 3,200 county residents of varying urban cycling skills and abilities will be able to take advantage of these free classes.
This week we’re starting a new series of Source posts that will list bike safety classes for the upcoming weekend. Stay tuned for additional classes over the next several months and help spread the word about this free Metro-funded program!
