I am a technical illustrator and graphic designer with over 30 years as an urban bike commuter, recreational group rider and ride leader. I am convinced that the greatest challenges facing American bicycling are a lack of education and a destructive belief system about our public roads.

Through CyclingSavvy, Mighk Wilson and I created a toolset for bicyclists to enhance their preferred style of riding. Together, we can transform our traffic culture to recognize that roads are for all people, not just motorists.
