PRS training

Project Ride Smart will be starting soon. Every couple of years, Jibe provides a refresh of the best teaching methods for the 5th grade bicycle driver education program. Deanna presented information on the classroom lessons.

I presented the best strategies for planning and teaching a street ride.

We rode from the Jibe office to nearby Natomas Park Elementary. After lunch in the park, we rode Yellow 1 and Green 2 routes several times. I am so glad Jibe is recruiting and training new LCIs for their bike-related programs.

City Council – ATC

Tuesday: a special meeting of the City Council to vote on the design to pursue for the Truxel Bridge. By a 3 to 2 margin, active transportation supporters wrote e-comments and spoke in person encouraging Councilmembers to vote No vote. Many residents north of the river (South and North Natomas) want and have been asking for a no-car design to be considered.

Thursday: Active Transportation Commission.

Around Lake Natoma

Brenda, Lori, me, Maria, and Laurie met at Sacramento Bar Park to start our ride around Lake Natomas.

We took a detour to explore part of the Johnny Cash Trail.

We’re standing in front of a guitar pick which sits on large copper record.

Lunch at Sociology:

Fun ride, cold day, 22 miles.
