3ft Safe Passing Law PSA
The 3ft Safe Passing Law was enacted on July 1, 2018 – it gives an official distance that someone in an automobile must give when passing a cyclist. One of the various projects our 3ft Safe Passing Working Group is working on is creating PSAs to educate the public on this law to make sure everyone knows how much space they need to give, and why it is important.
If you would like to be a part of the PSA (acting, being interviewed, or helping film/edit), please fill out this quick form: forms.gle/s8mitC6w4FkhaWzB9
If you would like to be a part of the discussion, join our next 3ft Safe Passing Law Working Group meeting! July 25th (Thu), 5:30pm at the HBL Office (you can also join remotely by phone). Sign-up at: volunteersignup.org/EJYCT.
Imua Kākou Trykes
Imua Kākou Trykes is a non-profit organization that provides customized adapted tricycles for people 
with special needs that are unable to ride a typical bicycle or tricycle. They are the local chapter of a national organization, Amtryke. Amtryke sent them two Community Cruiser Hand Trykes in order to fill the pallet when shipping their order to Hawaiʻi and they are now looking for homes for these trykes. The trykes are brand new and already built, but some maintenance is required. If you are interested in taking one home or would like some more information, please email them at imuakakoutrykes@gmail.com.
Here’s the adult hand-tryke that you could take home!

League Cycling Instructor Certification Seminar 2020
Spring 2020 LCI Certification Seminar
“Took my first HBL Adult Learn to Ride class last Sunday with Malia, and had a great time. Thank you for holding these wonderful workshops and having such supportive people help us learn these valuable skills! Can’t wait to get better on the bike and work towards being able to ride any bike I come across!” -YuhMin
“Three of us septuagenarians joined your bicycle class this morning after having not been on a bicycle for at least 35 years. Our riding skills had faded with brake pedals. Kevin Landers and Bruce were excellent instructors and made it so fun for us. We really had a ball. We left with improved riding skills and look forward to taking your more advanced bike lessons. Thanks, too, to the City and County for enabling us to take this class. All of you are great !” -Sheila
“Thanks for teaching the class. My son and I learned a lot. In all my years of cycling, I never changed my own tire, so it was great to finally learn.“ -Ryan
“You are awesome—a great communicator, efficient, encouraging, a wealth of information, positive, a passionate advocate for bicyclists. Your attitude is contagious. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience in our journey on two wheels. “ –Anne

Why become a League Cycling Instructor?
After successfully completing the 23-hour seminar, you will be certified as a League Cycling Instructor. The certification is recognized nationally! This means you are set up to teach safe cycling material to students, be covered by the LAB’s insurance, and go forward into the world with more cycling knowledge & skills, more confidence, and more power to EMPOWER others to ride (safely) – anywhere in the USA!
If you want to hit the ground running with your new certification, HBL will have a range of teaching opportunities waiting for you! As most of you know, HBL offers free cycling workshops (for adults), open to the public. Everything from teaching adults how to ride a bike, to showing them the ropes of road riding, to educating cyclists on bike mechanics (and more). You are encouraged to sign up to teach these 2-hour workshops (with pay of ~$50/workshop) to flex your teaching muscles.

What’s It Gonna Cost?
Those enrolling in the seminar must be current LAB members (an annual fee of $40, which if you want, comes with a magazine subscription to Bicycling magazine!). For those that are taking the seminar and not planning to help teach HBL workshops on O‘ahu, the seminar fee is $300. For those enrolling in the seminar because they will be teaching HBL’s adult cycling workshops (at least 10 workshops in a year), HBL will cover the seminar entry fee for the participant.
