Re: [RBW] Re: Pamela Murray: Bike Hero
Thanks again for all the kind words. Please join me for CyclingSavvy sometime. The classroom portion is via Zoom so anyone can join. The on bike sessions are usually in Charlotte, NC. Occasionally I teach in other locations. A friend is asking me to teach again in Key West sometime. Let me know if you want to join me there. Here's the link. But I'll schedule a course for you when you're interested. Just let me know a good time for you. https://cyclingsavvy.org/organizer/pamela-murray-2/ On Saturday, April 8, 2023 at 12:58:52 PM UTC-4 weste...@gmail.com wrote: > What a great message and a great video.

[RBW] Re: Pamela Murray: Bike Hero
I watched the video, rode with Pam and also took her course. I'm still nervous about riding with cars, but I have more tools to do so safely. We have great paths where I live, but they don't always go to where I want to go. Also, I am riding more to where I used to drive. Thanks, Pam! I might be in Charlotte again in May, hopefully on a Tuesday night for your ride.

I've watched the video twice and will probably watch it a third time at some point. Even though I ride almost everyday as well, I always learn something or at least gain fresh perspective from someone else who does as well - and Pam's insights run especially deep as someone who's put themselves in other people's shoes a lot for education purposes!

I have said it many times, to many people, but there is no Riv I find more inspiring than that Betty Foy, too! It's ironic, for sure, that I've spent so much money (that should be in my retirement savings) on an assortment of well-appointed bikes but deep down what I really appreciate is a heavily-used and immensely practical bike - and Pam's Betty is at the top of the podium for me. I ride about 4000 miles per year, give or take, but since I'm splitting that mileage across a handful of bikes (and usually a one- or two-bike rotation each year) the highest mileage bike I have is the Hillborne at ~5300 miles or 8400 km.

Congratulations, Pam! It's a very enjoyable story to watch. Tom (in Miami, a flat environment that could be transformed into a cycling city!)

So cool. Being from Georgia, I must say I love and appreciate Pam's accent. She makes good points about riding on roads being relatively safe if you learn to do so properly. The health benefits outweigh the risks I believe you said and I concur.
