FYI, I have 3 private classes scheduled through the rest of 2018, if you or someone you know in metro ATL has been wanting to get back on bike. Click here. Advertisements

Truth at a crossroads
So I’m reading an excellent new book from Microcosm Publishing titled Bicycle/Race, written by Dr. Adonia E. Lugo (who helped start the CycLAvia open streets events in Los Angeles years ago) and I’m reminded about something I knew but now am seeing more clearly. A significant percentage of people riding bikes in the United States…

5-year anniversary
It’s the five-year anniversary of this public service campaign I created pro bono with the generous participation of many fellow citizens for our local bike/walk advocacy group.

Please note (and expand your definition if you haven’t already done so) that “commuting” includes: * riding to/from an office building for a corporate employee; * riding to/from meetings for a sales person…
Less than .2%
You have probably read the statistics about the sharp decline in children walking and riding bikes to school. You may not really realize how dramatic it has been until you see the empty bike racks. In the suburb-city where I live, it would have taken 65 students riding their bikes to school today (which was…
