Learn to Bicycle from a Experienced Bicyclist and Certified Bicycle Instructor

 

Date :

My name is Mark Horowitz, as a bicyclist with over forty years of bicycling experience, a bicycle safety professional and a person who wants others to enjoy the benefits of bicycling, I have developed the first on-line bicycling course that enables you to learn to bicycle your own home at your own pace. I developed this course with five goals in mind.

Goal Number 1: Give you the bicycle safety information you need to be safe while you are riding your bike
Goal number 2: Give you what you need to begin to enjoy bicycling without injury
Goal number 3: Give you the ability get in better physical shape and reduce stress.
Goal number 4: Teach you how to keep more of your paycheck by reducing you transportation costs.
Goal number 5: Provide you with what you need to go beyond the basics.

As a bicycle safety professional and expert witness I have had the opportunity to review thousands of pages of testimony from people involved in bicycle crashes as well as, hundreds of bicycle crash reports. One thing that stands out is that 60% of all bicycle crashes are from an error caused by bicyclists. You will learn what these people wished they knew before they crashed. You will be able to avoid the injuries, as well as, the time off from work to recover from your injuries.

My observations have me convinced that the average person on a bicycle unaware of the traffic conditions and other hazards that could lead to personal injury or even death. They casually go along not even aware of the narrow escapes they have had with motor vehicles.They casually go along not even aware of the narrow escapes they have had with motor vehicles. They continue along their merry way with only luck keeping them out of the hospital. They are crashes waiting to happen and based on the statistics it will happen.

After years of teaching I have also come to realize that there are many "exprerienced" bicyclists lacking the bicycle safety skills to keep themselves safe riding in traffic.

Even an proficient bicyclist such as myself can be involved in a crash. The difference isI know how to avoid serious injury. After close to forty years of bicycling I have only had one crash with a left turning car. At the last minute, I made my emergency turn. I had no injuries except some minor bruising. I cracked my helmet and dented the car. You will learn how to execute life saving emergency maneuvers.

Do not be just a person a bike
Become a bicyclist!

A national study validated my observations that people riding bicycles are lacking knowledge to ride safely in traffic and that this is the cause of their injuries.

A study conducted by the Consumer Product Safety Commission that stated.

“The bicycle study found that many of the bicycle-related injuries and deaths every year are related to what the rider does and how the rider interacts with environmental factors. Riding practices that are risky, that reflect poor riding judgment, or that fail to account for environmental conditions, play a major role in injury and fatality scenarios. …”

Training courses should also include some basic information on how to maintain bicycles in good working order. “

Do not become a crash statistic
Learn what mistakes bicyclists and motorists make!

Other studies conducted by the Consumer Product Safety Commission have shown bicycle related hospital emergency room visits to over 580,000 per year.

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration’s “Traffic Safety Facts 2006”

In 2005, 786 people on bicycles were killed in crashes with motor vehicles and 2006, 773 were killed,

In 2005, 45,000 people on bicycles were injured with injured in crashes with motor vehicles

In 2006, 45,000 people on bicycles were injured with injured in crashes with motor vehicles

According to the Federal Highway Administration, report “Bicycle Safety Related Research Synthesis”,

“Several studies have found that “most crashes were primarily due to human error and very few were due to environmental factors”

Nationally, police reported one or more bicyclist’s errors that may have contributed to 64.6 percent of the bicycle/motor vehicle fatalities in 1991”.

“Bicyclist safety can be significantly compromised by motorist behavior… factors includes motorist inexperience, fatigue, night vision impairment, and failure to search for non-motorized traffic.”

Learn what you need to
prevent head and face injuries!

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission study”Bicycle Use and Hazard Patterns in the United States

“… about 69 percent of the head/face injuries were lacerations, contusions, and abrasions, relatively minor diagnoses. However, about 27 percent were reported to be potentially serious injuries such as fractures, internal injuries, and concussions. …

…Injuries to the arm/hand area tended to be lacerations, contusions or abrasions (42 percent), and fractures (40 percent). Injuries to the leg/foot area were primarily lacerations, contusions, and abrasions (72 percent). …

Learn from Someone Else's Experience

As the bicycle program manager for Broward County, Florida, the fifth largest metropolitan area in the country it is my responsibility to develop programs that will reduce injuries and fatalities to bicyclists.

In 1987, I began developing bicycle safety programs to decrease the number bicycle/motor vehicle crashes and bicyclist fatalities. Since 1987, there has been a forty- percent reduction n bicycle/motor vehicle crashes and a fifty- percent reduction.

As trainer for the Florida Traffic Safety Education Program was a member of the team that wrote the Florida Dept. of Transportation's bicycle safety curriculum, which is used throughout Florida and has been copied nationwide.

I have been tested and certified as a bicycling instructor by the League of American Bicyclist. I have taught thousands of children and hundreds of adults bicycle safety. Most recently, I wrote and produced the award winning driver/bicycle education video "Everyone has a Story: Road Sharing Tips for Bicyclists and Motorists"
