MassBike and Boston University are partnering to host a 3-day League Cycling Instructor (LCI) seminar where prospective bike safety educators will receive training on cycling instruction using the Smart Cycling curriculum presented by the League of American Bicyclists. People who successfully complete the seminar will join the nearly 7000 certified League Cycling Instructors across the nation as cycling educators. The LCI seminar will take place from November 15 through November 17, 2024 in Boston, MA. Those interested in attending should register for the seminar by October 18th for early bird pricing. 

The training will prepare prospective educators to teach the League’s bike safety curriculum to people of all ages and at various levels of experience. Newly certified LCIs are empowered and equipped to teach courses that cover youth riding, how to ride confidently and legally with other traffic, how to share paths and trails, motorist education, bike handling and avoidance maneuvers, group riding, and more. 

Prerequisites for the training include completion of the Smart Cycling Complete class, individual membership with the League of American Bicyclists at $50 per year, and registration. The LCI Seminar emphasizes teaching how to teach bicycling safety. Prospective LCIs should have experience riding on roadways and be comfortable and confident riding with others, they are expected to have a basic level of knowledge about safe cycling and bike maintenance. After the successful completion of the seminar, participants will be able to teach Smart Cycling classes to children and adults. League Cycling Instructors help people feel more secure about riding by educating cyclists and motorists and ensuring that people on bikes know how to ride safely and legally.
