TRAFFIC SKILLS 101 AUGUST 28, 2010
Cycling is inherently safe. Based on crash data in Freedom from Fear, by expert vehicular cyclist Mighk Wilson, for comparable time periods of activity, travel by bicycle is 2.1 times safer than by auto, for cyclists of all ages, levels of training and skill levels. Airlines are 3.1 times safer. A vehicular cyclist in the daytime, obeying all traffic laws is 47 times safer. Road cyclists with solid basics fall somewhere in between 2.1 and 47. Improve your odds by registering for this course. I teach this course for the satisfaction of knowing I might have saved a life and at least given people the opportunity to have more fun on their bicycle.
Registration is open through Tuesday, August 24th. To request a registration package, click to contact Jeff Hohlstein at (904) 291-8664 or email him at Jeff@FBAfirstcoast.org

Now’s your chance since the summer meeting will be held Saturday, July 17, from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm, in West Palm Beach at the office of the Downtown Development Authority, 301 Clematis Street. The Meet & Greet gathering precedes the meeting, Friday, July 16, from 6:00-8:00 pm at Grease Burger Bar, 213 Clematis Street (yes, they have vegi options). Your voice counts and the best way to make a difference is to get involved as an Advisory or Board member.

*WPB Comfort Inn http://www.comfortinn.com/hotel-west_palm_beach-florida-FL838?promo=gglocal

*WPB Crowne Plaza http://www.cpwestpalmbeach.com/
All are within a few miles of downtown, and you could ride from each of them (though most safely from Biba).
