Introductions
Begin the class by introducing yourself. Give your name and affiliation, and say how long you have been involved in advocacy or education. Thank everyone for coming.. Ask students to introduce themselves. Ask them to describe why they are attending the seminar and what they hope to get out of it. Make a mental note or write some of these reasons on the board/flipchart. Acknowledge each student individually to let the next student know that it is his or her turn.
Explain the content of the seminar. Walk participants through the outline and schedule. Point out the locations of restrooms and other facilities. Tell students that you welcome questions, but that long answers may have to wait until lunch break. Students should stay together during lunch so they can all participate. You will assist individuals during breaks.
Ask the students why they ride. The reasons given will differ from the original reasons for enrolling in the class. Mention the differences. Point out that there is more to riding about a bicycle than getting onto a bike and pedaling around. There are rules that everyone must understand. Through this understanding, students will be able to relax and ride with confidence.

Principles of Traffic Law
Understanding the basic principles of traffic law will help you understand how to ride your bicycle in any traffic situation. All road users expect each other to act in accordance with these principles to avoid conflict. Riding your bicycle in accordance with these principles will decrease the likelihood of a crash. 
Vehicles and pedestrians
Two categories of road users -- vehicle operators and pedestrians -- follow different rules. Under the traffic law, bicyclists are vehicle operators, though bicyclists may dismount and walk with their bicycles as pedestrians. On some paths and sidewalks, bicyclists and pedestrians may use the same travel space, but then bicyclists must take special care.
First Come, First Served 
Vehicles are entitled to the lane width they need, and to a reasonable distance in front and behind for safety. A vehicle operator must wait (yield right of way) rather than to move into the safety space of a different vehicle.
Ride on the Right
In most countries, drivers of vehicles, including bicyclists, must drive on the right-hand side of the roadway. (A few countries follow the English rule: drivers must keep left).. Traveling opposite traffic puts you where people do not expect you, and makes it impossible for you to read signs and signals. Many common crash types result from riding opposite the flow of traffic.
Traffic Control Devices 
Signs, signals and lane markings contribute to making the roads safer for all users. Heed the traffic control devices so that your actions will be predictable.
Speed Positioning 
 Slow traffic keeps to the right and faster traffic overtakes on the left.  . Avoid passing stopped or parked cars on the right.
Intersection Positioning 
 As they approach an intersection, vehicles merge to the correct position for their destinations. Right-turning vehicles proceed from the right side of the roadway; left-turning vehicles, from just to the right of the centerline, and, straight-through vehicles, from an intermediate position
