¡Bicycling Street Smarts in Spanish!

También en español —  this article is also available in Spanish..

I have some exciting news: a translation of Bicycling Street Smarts, in Spanish, is now available as a Kindle ebook. The title: El Ciclista Astuto.

How did Bicycling Street Smarts in Spanish come about?

CyclingSavvy Instructor Michael Brooks reached out to Minneapolis Latinos en Bici MN member Noemi Treviño Flores. She shared our Bicycling Street Smarts booklet with the club. Marco Mejía and Reyna López volunteered to translate. As a reward for the work, the club will get free access.

Bicycling education is not the smoothest career I could have chosen. Especially for that reason, I am deeply gratified as the author of Bicycling Street Smarts. I speak also for CyclingSavvy co-founder Keri Caffrey, who revised illustrations. As described in the acknowledgements in the new version and in a previous article, many others have helped with Bicycling Street Smarts over the years.

An international audience

Spanish usage, traffic laws and customs differ from one country to another. Our version reflects North American conditions. Another version for Spain has been translated and published by advocacy organization Madrid Ciclista. El Ciclista Astuto — Bicycling Street Smarts in Spanish — can reach cyclists in many countries around the world.

And why should we stop with Spanish? We already have draft versions in French and German. Would you like to have Bicycling Street Smarts, CyclingSavvy Edition in French, or German, or another language? Please let us know. We might make that happen. AI now can provide a fairly good draft translation for review, so translation goes faster than it used to.
