“I want to teach classes on traffic bicycling—but I don't wanna look like an unorganized dork!”
—J.N., Chicago

If that sounds familiar, we have the manual you need! Designed especially for non-teachers, the Traffic-Cycling Instructor Manual can help you teach adult bike classes competently and professionally. Some have called it a “teaching for dummies” guide:

• Features 25 modules that deliver all the important aspects of traffic and utility bicycling, in 150 illustrated pages.
• Tells you exactly how to prepare for each lesson and what materials you'll need.
• For every lesson, suggests what teaching methods (such as question-and-answer and demonstration) might work best.
• Helps you deal with both slower students and advanced students.
• Completely modular—so you can combine different modules to create classes of any length, for the specific needs of particular groups.
• Contains both classroom and on-bike lessons.
• Includes before and after tests to assess what students learned.
• League Cycling Instructors: Tells you how to include Smart Cycling's “need to know” materials and guides you on crafting a comprehensive road test.
