In light of our tragic October, many folks wondered how we could do a better job educating bicyclists about how to ride more defensively.
Below is a notice about some training courses by the League of American Bicyclists that are being offered in Eugene in February:

Help bring the joy of safe cycling to others! Becoming a League Cycling Instructor (LCI) certified to teach Bike Education is a great way to encourage positive and safe cycling skills in our community.
Certified instructors can teach BikeEd classes to children as well as adults. If you are an experienced cyclist and would enjoy teaching skills on safe cycling to others, please consider taking this step towards certification.
