WHAT’S A LEAGUE CYCLING INSTRUCTOR?

League Cycling Instructors (LCIs) are ambassadors for better biking through education. After earning certification through a 3-day, League Coach-led seminar, LCIs teach Smart Cycling classes to children as well as adults. Their goal is to help people feel more secure about getting on a bike, to create a mindset that bikes are treated as a vehicle, and to ensure that people on bikes know how to ride safely and legally.

STEPS TO BECOMING A LEAGUE CYCLING INSTRUCTOR: 

1. Successfully pass the Smart Cycling Complete class (Traffic Skills 101) with a 85% or better.

• Find a class in the San Diego area by visiting: https://sdbikecoalition.org/smart-cycling/
• Remember the complete class consists of classroom instruction and on-bike handling skills. Students will be tested.

2. Register for the LCI Seminar

• This is a 3-day seminar and will require about 3 hours of preparation prior to the course.
• Registration rates increase 4 weeks prior to the class start date. Registration closes 3 weeks from the class start date.

3. Attend all 3 days of the seminar

• This is an intense 3 days learning about how to teach the Smart Cycling curriculum.
• All candidates must attend the entire seminar.
• Registration does not guarantee certification, but everyone comes away with increased knowledge of bicycle safety instruction and will eventually be certified if you put in the effort and time.
