    The Bicycle Riding School

    The bicycle riding school I teach at was on the front page of the Boston Globe and at on the web at
    http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/arti...rt_at_any_age/

    It's a nice article and I am the one in red pushing the new rider. We mostly teach beginning adults and some children, although I have done some more advanced teaching in other contexts.

    Nice job! It's wonderful that your school is helping adults who never had the chance to learn as kids, how to ride a bicycle! In my happy world I always took riding a bike for granted. Everyone knows how to ride a bike, don't they? Apparently no and it's great that you are helping these people! No one should miss out on the simple pleasure of a bicycle ride!
