As for APD, they do have a training on cycling law and the recently adopted Master Bike Plan calls for the entire department to get this training. I have a copy of the Power Point which I'll share if Eileen does not get to it in the next article. Andy,

Should APD go through your classes to know cycling laws? What if they create their own classes and teach cycling laws differently? Is there a benefit to taking your class or theirs? (If they ever create their own for the public.) I look forward to reading your articles on this topic. I'm up in Round Rock riding my bike around and wondering what the laws are around here. I guess I should find out! I am curious. Should APD go through your classes to know cycling laws? What if they create their own classes and teach cycling laws differently?

Of course, he was half dead after doing so many elementary school visits. But along with your account, it highlights the need for more emphasis on what you have to offer in TS 101.
