Another fun hour with 8 of the students in Better on Bikes. After practicing scanning in a parking lot drill, we went for a 3 mile ride.

In the morning, Freida and I went for a ride. She agreed to go through all the steps for a box turn while I took lots of pictures for the next Better on Bikes class. Thanks Freida!

Then I picked up two bikes in Carmichael that were donated to SABA’s Bike Match program

followed by picking up Sophia, Avery, and Carson, going to Starbucks, followed by Avery’s soccer practice.

Meanwhile,

It was a bit chilly on Sunday morning, nevertheless 8 participants in Better on Bikes came out for Office Hours. We did a few bike drills and went for a ride around Fisherman’s Lake – 2.75 miles. Those who wanted a few more miles went an second time with an extension to El Centro Rd.

Tuesday @ 5:30. One thing to figure out when you Zoom is your background: what’s best for your audience? That blue pleated blind turned out to be perfect plus turning on every available overhead light.

Part of Better on Bikes is an optional informal meeting on Sunday afternoon. About 10 people came today. I checked helmet and bike fits, answered questions, and lead a 1.4-mile ride around the block.

Tonight was the first Better on Bikes class. On Zoom, moderated by William at Jibe – thank goodness! He handled everyone’s technical issues, 25 participants with most of them from Four Seasons Westshore. The clock in the background helped me stick to the time checks. Everything went really well – whew! I’ve been working a lot on this project and was a bit nervous leading up to 5:30.
