About Gary Cziko

CyclingSavvy Instructor
Los Angeles, California

I fell in love with cycling when I first learned to balance on two wheels well over 50 years ago in New York City. Since then I have explored all aspects of cycling including commuting, touring on five continents, and racing on road and dirt. Despite my many miles and years in the saddle, CyclingSavvy was a revelation to me when I took the course in 2011 and it made cycling even more fun for me. I brought the first CyclingSavvy classes to Illinois, California and Arizona and look forwarding to helping expand the best traffic cycling program in the U.S. to more states and cities.
