  First driver's-ed, now bike-ed

  Toronto public schools should take a spin at cyclist education, one trustee says.

  Josh Matlow is trying to get his colleagues at the Toronto District School Board to agree on a bicycle safety awareness campaign for students.

  "We offer a driver's education course, we should focus on cycling education, too," the St. Paul's trustee said yesterday. He will make his pitch at the Oct. 14 meeting of the board's programs and school services committee.

  "It is important that the next generation of bicyclists is aware of all relevant legislation, rules and safety practices to protect themselves, along with others, when riding bicycles in Toronto," Matlow states in his motion.

  If students have an understanding of the rules for both cars and bicycles, both drivers and riders should be safer, he said. Partnerships with organizations such as Toronto Police could keep costs to a minimum, Matlow said.
