Bike advocacy group offers share-the-road toolkits

Posted: Updated:
INDIANAPOLIS -

A bicycling advocacy group has developed a toolkit aimed at teaching student drivers to share the road.

Bicycle Indiana is making the toolkits available for free to driver's education class instructors. The toolkit includes a seven-minute video, a quiz about the video and a poster to display in the classroom.

To encourage use of the toolkits, Bicycle Indiana will hold a monthly drawing for $50 in gasoline to students who pass the driver's education class and score 80 percent or better on the quiz. Instructors of the winning students will receive a $100 gas card.

Bicycle Indiana executive director Nancy Tibbetts says public education is key to preventing injuries. She says too often drivers don't understand that bicyclists share the same rights to the road.
