[SDCBC] regarding Road 1 and LBSs

[Gene Carman]

Shortly after taking Road 1 and Road 2 myself, (a couple of years 
ago) I went to several LBSs (Local Bike Shops) and asked around to 
see if anyone was familiar with "bike safety classes" or "training 
classes."   I asked several employees each shop if they had any 
knowledge of cyclist classes.

The response I got were shrugged shoulders and comments like "why 
would anyone need such a class?"  The only classes anyone knew about 
were associated with the velodrome and racing.

While the LBS is a great place to get good bike gear and have it 
serviced, they are sadly unaware of the training available through 
SDCBC.   This is not to say that there are not shops around that do 
know of Road 1 and Road 2, but I find them the exception rather than 
the rule.
