FBA Ride Leader / Ride Marshal Program

Whether you are leading a community ride, a club ride or a major charity bicycling event over multiple days, FBA has the cycling education program for you.  Our Ride Leader / Ride Marshal training and certification program is modular in approach to allow comprehensive focus on what is most relevant for ride leader / ride marshal development.

The single day, 5-hour certification session includes:

  • Bike safety and Florida Bicycle and Pedestrian laws and cyclist rights on the road.
  • Preparation from bodies to bikes, helmet fitting, and nutrition.
  • Communication from hand signals to how to give great pre-ride tutorials, on the ride coaching and how to brand your club or organization through cycling professionalism.
  • Coaching and Mentoring skills to develop stronger, safer cyclists in your club or organization.
  • Trail and multi-use path etiquette.
  • Advanced cycling skills for 17+ mph group rides like pace line etiquette and how to control speed with skill.
  • Crash and rider down tips and preparation.
  • Community and family ride leader skills.
  • Written test for certification.

Fees:  $20 for FBA members / $35 for non-members.

Please contact info@floridabicycle.net for more information.  Virtual certification is being considered, but this method requires a commitment in that we break up the information into three consecutive sessions (2-3 hours each session), each starting at 1PM on a Saturday.  We are considering sessions to pick up ASAP, stay tuned!!
