Though I continue working to fund and fit safe spaces in mature communities for people of all ages and abilities to walk and bike, I believe the greatest contribution to mobility and a balanced transportation system is accessible on-going education. Education of bicycle drivers to shed the fear of coexisting with cars on our vast road network and replace it with an intuitive confidence and a heightened sense of awareness. Education of motorized drivers to be mindful of the unique obstacles and situations bicycles face to proactively prepare them for a blended traffic transportation system of disparate participants..
I currently live in NE Wisconsin along a whitewater section of the Peshtigo River. I am the Chair of the Lake Links Association, which I co-founded with Steve Wolgamot in 2017. To date we have raised almost $8 million in legislative funding to complete a safe 10-mile route weaving through two counties and five communities around White Bear Lake. White Bear is the largest lake in the northeast St. Paul, MN metro.
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.
