Pedestrian & Bicyclist Training

Pedestrians and cyclists have a responsibility to use the roads responsibly. Two local groups, Bicycling for Louisville and the Louisville Bicycle Club, conduct cyclist training programs. Safe Streets Louisville applauds organizational and personal efforts to improve riding skills.

Principles of safely navigating the streets by foot is something to be learned early in life. Our local sister-city of Barbourmeade, under the leadership of Mayor Kim Holsclaw, has established a program to reduce the number of students arriving to school by car. The program encourages kids to walk (and bike) to school and teaches safety principles. Safe Streets Louisville applauds this effort and will be working with Jefferson County Public Schools to develop a progressive program to accomplish these parallel ends.
