The best time to teach the rules of cycling is during practice. Please refer to official Special Olympics Sports Rules for the complete listing of cycling rules. Both you as a coach and your athlete need to:
Know the proper uniform/attire to wear for practice and competition.
Show an understanding of the event that the athlete is competing in.
Understand that the divisioning process includes gender, age and preliminary times.
Realize that preliminary times may be adjusted by the coach in extenuating circumstances.
Know the course (layout, number of laps etc.)
Know to watch for direction from the Chief Referee.
Know not to interfere with other riders.
Follow official Special Olympics cycling rules and UCI Rules.
