Help Kids' Road Riding Tuition?

[CoffinDodger]

Does anyone know of a course that my 10 year old son can take, that will help his road awareness and general riding safety? the school course seems largely pointless. he wants to take up road cycling.

Also if anyone has ideas about a road bike for this 150cm little guy? We had looked at this one

The Japanese schools do offer bicycle safety courses, but they aren't very good in my opinion. You're better off teaching the kid.

Regarding bicycle, if you want to stay local: http://www.fujibikes.jp/2015/products/ace_24/

The police organize two-hour courses aimed at families twice a month at the big ol' safety center on the banks of the Tamagawa. Free parking. Get your photo taken with the shirobai. Steel yourself for annoying Peepaw-kun.
