Dear Reader,

As Long Beach becomes more "bicycle friendly" many of you have asked if there is a "Bicycle Safety Traffic School" available for those who receive citations for minor traffic violations.

The City Manager of Long Beach has sent council members a memo detailing how such a school would operate in Long Beach. I am attaching it for your review and comment.

Thanks for taking time to be involved in City issues.

P.S. I think I might just stick with riding a surrey bike. Safer.
