The Austin Cycling Association offers one of the nation's first defensive cycling courses. If referred by the court to take a defensive cycling course, the Austin Municipal Court will accept the course certificate as part of a deferral for dismissal of certain bicycle citations. The cost of the class is $25, but additional charges imposed by the Municipal Court may apply. Additional information regarding the Austin Municipal Court's procedures and requirements for bicycle violations can be found on the Court's website.

The Austin Cycling Association courses were designed and are taught by nationally certified League Cycling Instructors with the League of American Bicyclists. With our course, you'll not only meet the requirements to dismiss your traffic ticket, you'll also learn vital defensive cycling tips on how to become a safer and more proficient cyclist. This course is provided and taught under license by The Center for Cycling Education.

Classes generally fill up quickly and registration closes at noon three days before the class so register early so you don't miss your opportunity.
