Portland Velo offering First Aid & CPR for Cyclists

[Nokomis]

Hello! I've been away from the forum (lurking silently) for a while - but wanted to stop by to share this amazing offer:

Have you ever been part of, heard of, or witnessed a cycling-related incident that resulted in an injury? Did you find yourself wishing you knew what to do, or wish that your first aid skills were a bit more up to date? Here is your chance to become better prepared to handle these situations.

On Sunday, March 9, Portland Velo is hosting an all-day First Aid and CPR training session - please visit http://portlandvelo.net/content/Firs...assNotice.aspx for more information.

If you have questions - please feel free to ask me here or email John as listed on the link above. I hope to see some of you there!

We still have spaces available! The instructor has put together the training to deal with cycling specific accidents and injuries. While we put a lot of focus on being safe and smart out there - we also want to be prepared should the worst case happen.

Besides, Madison's is providing good eats for us throughout the day!
