The Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective has launched the Bicycle Education Project, with funding support from UDOT, to teach bicycle safety to kids and adults of all ages and abilities. By teaching the necessary skills to ride with traffic and avoid accidents, the Collective hopes to increase safety for existing bicyclists and encourage more people to go by bicycle.
Twelve candidates have taken the Road I course and will attend the instructor seminar to become League Certified Instructors (LCIs). The League of American Bicyclists trainer Bruce Mackey will teach the weekend-long seminar with the help of current LCIs here in town.
