Abstract
Previous studies have proposed educational methods to improve the basic driving behaviors of unsafe drivers by evaluating their actual driving behaviors. In this paper, we report on applying the teaching methods proposed by previous studies to a new method for bicyclists to improve their safe riding behavior and awareness. The results of our education experiments indicated that it was important for a rider to increase the chance of noticing a crossing bicycle by confirming safety by looking right and left. The participants did not have this knowledge before the education. After the bicycle riding simulation and education, they understood it was effective to confirm safety by looking right and left to decrease the risk of an accident.
