Bicycle Education Classes on PALM

Pedal Across Lower Michigan is a family oriented tour, perfect for anyone who has never done a multi-day ride. Included with your registration is a nightly Bicycle Education class. This course will be taught each evening of PALM immediately following each night's all rider meeting. The class includes the classroom aspects of the League of American Bicyclists Road I course. We will cover vehicular cycling, bicycle maintenance, efficient cycling, common crashes and how to avoid them, self-contained touring, and the Effective Cycling video. There will be no on-bike instruction included in this course. Participants who attend five of the six classes and pass a written exam, will be awarded a certificate of completion for the Road I class room instruction. Optional on bike instruction will be offered later in the year to complete the Road I course.
