I enjoy helping people feel confident biking. I know that riding near cars can be intimidating for some, but that with the right mix of defensive moves, route planning, and best practices, riders will be safer on streets. My favorite part of teaching is seeing students figure out how to balance on a bike for the first time. I also love seeing former students at the San José Bike Party rides every third Friday or at the San José bike clinic. I am also a SVBC bike parking supervisor and enjoy mountain biking and bike packing in my time off.
