Since Elmhurst Bicycle Club has paid for this presentation, I would like to include The Evanston Bike Club as safety 
is a primary concern for all bike clubs.  This is a very important presentation and I strongly urge members to attend.

We are fortunate to have them present.  Here is The American Bicycling Education Association website:
