Get Certified as a Bicycle Educator
Why Become a Cycling Educator? – “League Cycling Instructors (LCIs) are ambassadors for better biking through their education efforts. After earning certification through a three-day, League Coach-led seminar, LCIs can teach a variety of Smart Cycling classes to children as well as adults, helping them feel more confident and secure about riding.”
Central Indiana Cycling is proud to be a member of the League of American Bicyclists, and we support training more Hoosier bicycle educators.
