Meet Lerin
This is Lerin. She was my student today. Lerin never learned how to ride a bike while growing up in New Orleans. She took a True Beginners class offered by the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition a couple of years ago and has been pedaling around in parks ever since. She wants to grow her skills, however,…
New Bicycle Friendly Communities
As I was zipping down the 2-way mostly* protected bike lane (cycle track) on the south side of Atlanta’s Piedmont Park yesterday on Relay Bikeshare, I did not know that the good news was about to be announced — the City of Atlanta has finally earned official Bicycle Friendly Community certification from the League of…

Another Relay Bikeshare fan, Carl Holt, joined me in becoming its first “VIP Ambassadors.”…

This is Juliet. She signed up for one of my small-group classes (which require students to already be able to pedal on a bike) but then emailed me to tell me she had no skills and could not ride a bike at all. I wrote back that I wanted to give her a private class…
Peachtree Street at night
So the Urban Confidence class (offered for free by the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition) with which I helped last night was pretty darn awesome (with the exception of the usual several drivers in bike lanes, and the surprising fact that none of the four Relay Bikeshare* bikes’ back lights worked — am grateful I tossed a red…
