Hello everybody,

Thank you for all the help that you provide daily, there are so many things that I have learned.

There is a similar program that I am just starting but it is for adults.  This is set up in conjunction with a Welfare to Work program.  Many are new to the US that are working on learning the English language and bike mechanics.  What may be the most helpful to me at this point is a basic teaching guide.  The only one that i know of is the Park Tool Instructor's Guide to the Park Tool School- second edition.  It is good but I would like to know if there are any additional resources online.

Hi Aaron,

 

Not sure exactly what you are looking for.  Our website has a link to our Volunteer Blog that has a variety of materials and links to address various topics including mentoring, bike repair with kids, risk management and safe cycling.  Our website might be down today since we are transferring to a new host.

 

Take care,

Andy

Subject: [TheThinkTank] Safety Training Material

 

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
