LCI Spotlight
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.

Better on Bikes 3 – the end
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.
Better on Bikes celebration
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.
Downtown murals ride
Saturday morning, Cheryl, Cindy, and I rode to W Sacramento, 4th & G Sts, to meet a group of people who will soon be living at Washington Commons Co-housing. They broke ground this month, today’s ride was a celebration of their achievement.
Thank you Anne Geraghty for requesting and organizing this ride.
An unexpected surprise: we were invited to peek inside a not-quite-open-yet street art museum on C St – a space in between.
Isabella gave us a great impromptu tour:

Huge thanks to Cindy and Cheryl for coming along on this ride. Their help was invaluable and made all of us safer.
Project Ride Smart
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.
Office Hours
We met at Inderkum High School and went for a ride. Cheryl, Leo, Sergio, Christopher, Ron, Sue:
Project Ride Smart
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!
