All our rides aim to be fun and safe. Sometimes though, even in the best of circumstances, accidents occur.
The First Aid For Cyclists seminar is designed specifically for cyclists to help you understand the role of the first responder in collecting information, keeping the injured cyclist(s) safe until help arrives; minimizing the chance of injury to others. Common cycling-related injuries and other road-related medical emergencies will be reviewed. There will also be suggestions for a personal first-aid kit.
Dr. Edward Fishkin is a board certified internist and associate professor at NYU School of Medicine.
Edward is a long term cyclist and NYCC member who lead the A-Classic SIG for many years and founded and captained the A-19 SIG between 2000 and 2010 .
