I was chosen for the League of American Bicyclists League Cycling Instructor spotlight for their March 21 e-newsletter. Thank you so much, Deb Banks, for nominating me! Working with SABA and Jibe for the past 8 years has been so personally rewarding and just plain fun. Great organizations and great people to work with.

Jibe contracts with SABA to provide mechanics for the many Bike Doc events in N Natomas. This afternoon, we met at Bike Dog Brewing to celebrate a very successful season.
Excellent pizza from Selland’s. Fun event.
Wednesday night at 6:00 – all set up and ready to go. This was the sixth and final class.
This class remains popular in the N Natomas community, so Better on Bikes 4 and 5 are in the works for 2022.
Instead of the usual Sunday Office Hours bike ride, a larger group got together at Natomas Regional Park for a tire change demonstration by Mellissa and lunch provided by Jibe.
The team on Monday: Deanna, Anna, Christy, Charlie, Gina.
A short video before the street ride. We worked with three 5th grade classes each day, Monday and Tuesday. Four classes on Wednesday.
Every blue group rider did a great job. If a coaching tip was shared, they listened.
By the third riding day, we were able to not only complete the designated route and go find some fun. Like riding around the outside edge of the skate park.
Following the red group back to campus on the Redbud Trail:
On Wednesday, I was in charge of the Slow Race – ride the length of a basketball court, the slowest person is the winner.
We met at Inderkum High School and went for a ride. Cheryl, Leo, Sergio, Christopher, Ron, Sue:
The last one – #5. I decided to repeat the most successful previous ride … to Bad Bakers. In the middle – BOC which might mean bacon on caramel. To the right, Walter White. Left – a cute Halloween donut pointed in the wrong direction.
Cheryl, Brian, Sharon, Pearl:
Thank you, JIbe, especially Michelle. Great promotion from my point of view! So cool that it coincided with Better on Bikes 3.
At Westlake Charter School. I came to help with the street rides on Thursday and Friday mornings. Lucky me, I was assigned the “Blue group.” Based on their bike handling skills from the blacktop drill days, these kids are very competent. And they were competent! Too much fun!
Meeting #4. 6-7:00 Wednesdays on Zoom.
Cheryl rode with Brian and Pearl from Red Sea & Hovnanian. I drove to Dogwood Park to meet Rupert and Jeorgianna. We all met at Huckleberry’s and had a great breakfast followed by individual pictures with our bikes.
