I am a member of Bicycle in Greensboro where I serve on the Board of Directors and advocate for educational programs, including CyclingSavvy and BIG Bike Camps! a summer bike camp for school-age children.
I am the co-founder of the Easy Riders! which is a weekly Tuesday evening ride. These are educational, relaxed, and conversational-paced rides that are perfect for those who are just getting into bicycle riding or coming back to cycling after taking some time off.
I am a retired teacher and live with my wife, Linda, in Greensboro, NC. I am an urban bike commuter and cycling advocate. I rode my bicycle across America in 1979. During my 38 years as a science teacher, I commuted the last six years to and from school by bike. I also led numerous summer cycling camps and several self-contained youth cycling tours from Maine to Florida, as well as in Southern England.
In 2017, I took a three-day CyclingSavvy class in Charlotte, NC led by veteran instructors Pamela Murray and John Allen. It was there that I was able to gain new insights into cycling and strategic riding practices. I inquired about becoming an instructor because I wanted to continue my CyclingSavvy journey. I enjoy helping others become better, more strategic cyclists.
CyclingSavvy is a program of the American Bicycling Education Association. Our mission is to provide programs and resources for the education of bicyclists as drivers of vehicles, and bicycling-related education for traffic engineers, transportation planners, law enforcement professionals, educators, and the general public.
