I love to empower individual cyclists to ride with confidence wherever they want to go. I believe we can transform our traffic culture, through education and social marketing, into one which recognizes that roads are for all people, not just the ones driving cars.
I am a technical illustrator and graphic designer with over 30 years of urban cycling experience and a passion for teaching.
Through three decades as a bike commuter, recreational group rider and ride leader, I observed many close calls and conflicts. Studying the behavior of both cyclists and motorists, I became convinced that the greatest challenge facing American bicycling is a lack of education, coupled with a destructive belief system Americans have developed about our public roads.
I believe we can correct this problem and empower individual bicyclists to ride with confidence. Through CyclingSavvy, Mighk Wilson and I created a toolset for bicyclists to use on their own terms, to enhance their preferred style of riding.
Together, we can transform our traffic culture into one which recognizes that roads are for all people, not just the ones driving cars.
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.
