As a means of continuing efforts to educate all road users, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) is presenting a new series of free bicycle traffic safety workshops. The program kicks off with a free training session at the Hughes Center this Saturday, June 22.

From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., officials present a street cycling skills class, teaching fundamental rules of the road. The Office of Traffic Safety will fund the classes, and Metro is working with the LA County Bicycle Coalition, Bike San Gabriel Valley, and Multi-Cultural Communities for Mobility to lead the workshops. The Hughes Center is located at 1700 Danbury Rd. For more information, visit www.metro.net/bikes or www.facebook.com/bikemetro.
