I'm a new start up, working on defining our 'earn-a-bike' program. We will require service hours and I would like to do some required bicycle safety training as part of the program. Wondering if anyone can help me know what safety training materials you may use, and if : Are there standardized training materials I can get my hands on? Resources to get booklets or handouts? Good web resources to use? Thanks in advance, Aaron Searle Karma Bike Shop aaron(a)karmabikeshop.com
