Los Angeles Bicycle Academy’s "Bicycle Safety, Bicycle Education and Safety Programs" is a comprehensive curriculum designed to teach students to travel safely on a bicycle. Our curriculum recognizes that classes will often be composed of students with varying skill levels. Through a combination of in-class instruction, skill-based activities, and on-the-bicycle training, students will learn the parts of the bicycle, proper helmet and bicycle fitting, traffic rules and regulations, potential hazards when operating a bicycle, and handling skills needed to effectively, appropriately, and safely cycle throughout their community and beyond.
