Be visible, alert, predictable, and assertive. Prep for the Parade will provide you with a basic two-hour overview of how to operate your bicycle safely and confidently on the roadways in the Treasure Valley. This condensed version of Street Smarts Cycling is taught by the Treasure Valley Cycling Alliance and will cover hand signals, basic lane positioning, turning, lane changes, avoiding potential problems, stop lights and signs, and Idaho’s cycling road laws. We’ll be using the Pedal Power Parade route as our example on how to ride safely and confidently with motor vehicle traffic. A perfect overview for children with their parents, all riders are invited to attend with plenty of time to answer questions.
