FBA Virtual Ride Leader / Ride Marshal Certification
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 (RLRM) training and certification program is modular in approach to allow focus on relevant information for ride leader / ride marshal development. We require FBA membership for those looking to become certified and a fee of $35 to participate in our virtual format.
We realize the pandemic has impacted the ability to ride safely in groups for many large organization charity rides as well as weekly club rides. We also know many of you have been waiting to be FBA certified as a ride leader / ride marshal, for when cycling in groups is safe again. Our virtual RLRM certification program is a good time to sharpen your skills and earn your Ride Leader/Ride Marshal Certification.
Stay tuned for when our next virtual sessions will be offered or when we go back to the single day in-person class.
