Cyclist classes planned

The Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective is offering several free classes through its Bicycle Ed Program to teach cyclist safety. The Road 1 course helps beginning to intermediate bicyclists learn bicycle selection, maintenance, traffic skills, group-riding skills and more. It runs the second and fourth Saturdays through September at 8:30 a.m. with breakfast. Classroom and on-the-bike training will also be taught on Wednesday evenings. The collective plans to offer additional courses, such as Kids I, for parents, and Kids II, for children, and Safe Routes to School later this year.

All classes will be at the Community Bike Shop, 2312 S. West Temple in Salt Lake City. For more information or to register for classes, contact the shop at FAT-BIKE (328-2453) or on the Collective's Web site at www.slcbikecollective.org.
