I chose a route from my house that was really light in traffic and had no problems at all. Obviously, there is no traffic to contend with, but all situations are covered in the class- emergency stops, swerves, figure eights, cornering, weaving. Asa side note, I had my bike for 3 weeks before I was able to ride it. I would go into the garage and stare at it and sit on it until the day came on Friday when I was able to ride it. Take this class! Great, great preparation. G
