Description

We are excited to announce the return of our League Certified Instructor Training. We are excited to announce the return of our LCI Seminars! In order to begin the LCI seminar, you need to have previously completed the Smart Cycling Complete Class (formerly Traffic Skills 101). All candidates MUST complete the class with an 85% or better at least three weeks prior to the LCI seminar.LCIs are expected to maintain their League membership annually ($40 and the minimum LAB required hours per year in a bicycle-related educational activity) and their annual LCI renewal fee ($25). BikeMN annual membership is included for active Minnesota LCIs. BikeMN expects that experienced bicyclists are seeking certification. This class is meant primarily to focus on how best to teach bicycling education - this weekend is not about learning how to ride safely, it's about teaching. Attendance at all seminar hours is mandatory and does not guarantee certification. Successful candidates will have a strong working knowledge of bikes and bike maintenance and a great deal of experience riding in high traffic scenarios. Successful candidates also have strong core values aligned with philosophies of the League, including helmet use, bicycling infrastructure, and full incorporation of the idea that all people who ride bicycles are equal cyclists, regardless of political affiliation, race, gender, age or religion and that all students deserve respectful, polite and meaningful instruction. NOTE: There will be 10 scholarships available to BIPOC folks interested in becoming an LCI in September/October of 2021 find that class here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/151505209159.
