WABA & Bike Arlington Team Up to Offer Bike Commuting Seminar in Spanish
On Thursday morning, more than 30 people crowded into a small room at the Shirlington Education and Employment Center (SEEC) in Arlington County to attend a Bicycle Commuter Seminar jointly presented by WABA and Bike Arlington. The big difference between this particular seminar and the other 29 that our instructors have done throughout the region this year is that this one was given completely in Spanish.
The Spanish Bike Commuter seminar was given by Edgar Gil and we were invited by Andres Tobar, the director of the SEEC, and Tim Kelly of Bike Arlington. The seminar covered all of the same topics as the English version, including:
- Benefits of bike commuting
- What to do before you ride
- Choosing a bike
- Choosing a route
- Riding visibly
- Lighting and reflectivity
- Lane position and control
- Communication and hand signals
- Riding predictably
- Lawful bicycling
- Bike helmets
- Bike locks
- And more!
