why would one need a bicycle instructer??

[CyclistLorax]

To learn both bike control and traffic skills.

While this is a great presentation in a real class, it is not my favorite video from CyclistLorax.

A shorter version with closer views, a presenter looking at the camera and no background noise would be more effective.

As you correctly surmised, this scene was from a real Road I class, and yes, I was looking at our students rather than the camera! This scene was NOT intended to be a "video" as I was just going through the normal teaching process: no script, just extemparaneous lecture. Brian shot this video "on the fly" and thought it look pretty good, so I posted it here to solicit feedback. Thanks for giving perceptive feedback, it is much appreciated.

Cool checks. If anything I'd add giving the wheels a spin when you check the air (so you also get to see if the brake pads are rubbing the rim).

Dan & Brian: Excellent, Thanks!

I like it because the instructer seems to act more natural
