Safety First

Cyclist badge requirement 8: With your troop, patrol, or other group, plan and carry out a troop, school, or community safety project.

For my community safety project, I’ve complied a list of links I recommend to my community of readers:

http://www.bikenewyork.org Excellent free bicycle education classes that all New York City cyclists should take.

http://on.nyc.gov/9ylbrg DOT’s Bike Smart Guide to Cycling in NYC. Includes easy-to-read bike traffic rules.

http://bit.ly/HHbmOx A very odd 1963 bike safety film starring children-as-monkeys. More entertaining than informative, although the lessons still apply.

http://on.nypl.org/RtTlqG A thorough round-up of cycling resources.
