BICYCLE FRIENDLY DRIVER! A class on cycling safety from the motor vehicle driver perspective.   Its not because motorists are intentionally trying to harm cyclists, but because most on the road don’t know what those on bicycles are allowed to do by law, what they do that they shouldn’t and most importantly, why cyclists do what they do on the road.

What is the Bicycle Friendly Driver Class?

In this 1.5 hour class, instructors talk about scenarios that motorists may encounter with people on bikes and to teach them the safest and best ways to navigate each situation. At the conclusion of the course people who pass the exam and sign the Bicycle Friendly Driver pledge become certified as Bicycle Friendly Drivers. This distinction can be displayed on a motor vehicle with a Bicycle Friendly Driver sticker.

This allows us to reach more people and to create a common understanding about the laws associated with bicyclists and motorists sharing roadways.

This class originated in Fort Collins, Colorado following a death related cycling accident.  Bike Fort Collins and the city of Fort Collins worked together with a local fleet company to develop an educational program to increase safety awareness and minimize the possibility of future accidents.  Groups across the country are rapidly discovering the value of sharing this information.   Shawnee Trail Cycling Club is no different.  We have a number of cyclists within our organization that have had serious bike-car accidents and know have found it in our best interest to promote safety as best we can.

Who is Leading the Class?

Our classes will be led by League Certified Instructors and other Bicycle Ambassadors.
