CRBC Ride Marshal Class

The CRBC is hosting a Florida Bicycle Association Ride Marshal/Ride Leader class on January 25th, 2020. The class will be held at the United Way building, 7273 Concourse Dr, Fort Myers, FL 33908.

We'd like as many current ride leaders as possible to attend, so will be opening registration to them first. Shortly, we will open registration to anyone interested in improving their skills and expanding their knowledge. New and experienced riders alike will benefit the club by working from the same knowledge base and being "on the same page."

This class is FREE to CRBC members. You must, however, also be a member of the FBA (see link below.) Individual membership is $25.00, the club will refund the membership fee upon successful completion of the class.

Whether you are leading a community ride, a club ride or a major charity bicycling event over multiple days, FBA has the cycling education program for you. Our Ride Leader / Ride Marshal training and certification program is modular in approach to allow a Florida bicycle club and FBA member the opportunity to choose the modules that are most relevant for their needs and ride leader development.

The certification Workshop includes:

• Bike safety and Florida Bicycle and Pedestrian laws and cyclist rights on the road
• Preparation from bodies to bikes, helmet fitting, and nutrition
• Communication from hand signals to how to give great pre-ride tutorials, on the ride coaching and how to brand your club or organization through cycling professionalism
• Coaching and Mentoring skills to develop stronger, safer cyclist in your club or organization.
• Advanced cycling skills for 17+ mph group rides like paceline etiquette and how to control speed with skill
• Accident and rider down tips and preparation
• Community and family ride leader skills (if applicable)
• Written test for certification

Take your group riding experience to the next level!
