Pasadena Bike Week
Traffic Basics is C.I.C.L.E.'s two-part workshop

is the perfect workshop to get you, or someone you love, out there
riding on city streets both safely and confidently. During the first
part of the workshop, we will help you develop a thorough understanding
of the basic principles of bicycle and traffic safety. For the second
part of the workshop, you’ll need your bike, because we’ll be hittin’

practice. This workshop requires that you are already confident with
your bike handling abilities. (Part 2) of the class will meet the
following Thursday, May 22, at 7PM.
