About Karen Karabell
I live and work in St. Louis. I serve on two transportation committees for East-West Gateway Council of Governments, and on St. Louis County's Complete Streets Advisory Committee. I founded the Maryland Plaza Tuesday Night Ride, a social ride rolling along in its fourth year.
I use my bike year-round for transportation. What a thrill to discover CyclingSavvy! Without exception these are the BEST practices for safe and easy bicycling, everywhere I ride.
As Paul McFarlane has observed: "The bicycle is the solution to every problem." Truth! Especially for savvy cyclists :-)
