While transportation professionals typically focus on road engineering, oft-overlooked elements are child and adult bicycling education programs. This paper focuses on such programs in the context of a complete and comprehensive approach to bicycle safety and an overarching goal of improving equality of access to public roads. An essential complement to infrastructure is the need to promote soundly based bicycling education programs, some examples of which are discussed in this paper. They are presented in the context of the so-called five Es, analogous to the four Es of highway safety, to which has been added an overarching sixth E, Equality. As with the four Es of highway safety, a comprehensive approach to bicycle safety is needed to achieve a safe and equitable bicycling program in the US. This approach should include a greater emphasis on child and adult bicycle education programs like the ones described in this paper.
