[SDCBC] Time commitment? Re: Road 1 in June

[Serge Issakov]

Well, I know for a fact that the "vehicular cycling" feeling can be
developed outside of a classroom, simply by reading a book, paying
attention, and applying the concepts to one's riding.

I suspect a well-designed online course could accomplish this even more
effectively.  Perhaps by explaining some concepts, showing some videos, then
requiring the student to do some particular exercises, then come back and
answer questions about them, lather, rinse, repeat.
