John Ciccarelli is an experienced street cyclist and instructor who loves working with clients of all ages and abilities.  He lives, and mostly teaches, in San Francisco, privately and with San Francisco Bicycle Coalition. 

John earned his national certification as a League Cycling Instructor (LCI #453) in 1997, and since then has taught classroom, off-street and on-street classes for groups and individuals, independently and through organizations, public agencies and businesses.

Before launching Bicycle Solutions in 1999 as a transportation planning, design, safety and education consultancy, John served for four years as Stanford University's first full-time Bicycle Program Coordinator, following an 18-year software development career at firms such as Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), Plexus and Adobe Systems. 

From 1999 through 2022 John also served as a state-wide traffic safety field evaluator with UC Berkeley's SafeTREC and Tech Transfer programs, visiting and writing reports for over 100 California cities.  He served on the National (NCUTCD) Bicycle Technical Committee from 2002 through 2012, and on the California Traffic Control Devices Committee (CTCDC) between 2012 and 2015.     

Business History
In 2001 John began offering private Learn To Ride lessons, and in 2014 expanded his coaching practice by partnering with hand-picked instructors around the inner Bay Area.

NOTE: Since 1999 Bicycle Solutions has also created bicycle parking and storage solutions for workplaces, multi-family residential developments, and mixed-use projects.  That business activity has a new name and website: Bicycle Parking Solutions.
