BACA uses the Smart Cycling
Curriculum developed by the League of American Bicyclists. Over
the past four years, BACA has worked with our League Cycling
Instructors (LCIs) to offer a wide range of bike and traffic
safety skills in central Arkansas. LCIs offer courses to suit
the needs of anyone. Certified, insured and equipped to teach
anything from basic skills to college-level courses, LCIs are
the experts in bicycle education and safety. Courses offered
include: Traffic Skills 101, Traffic Skills 201, Commuting,
Share the Road (motorist education), Cycling Skills for Parents,
Cycling Skills for Adults, Cycling Skills for Children, and Safe
Routes to School (the Traffic Skills 101 course tailored for
younger riders, elementary through middle school). LCI's can
also offer customized versions of these courses, design bike
rodeos, and provide general safety consulting.
This page is intended
to parallel the basic bike handling and maintenance
instruction presented in the
Traffic Skills 101 class, serving both as a visual
reference and an illustration of some of the basic
maintenance chores to keep your wheels rolling happily
along.
