Guest Speaker: Keri Caffrey
Topic: Cycling Savvy
“I believe we can transform our traffic culture into one which recognizes that roads are for all people, not just the ones driving cars.”
CyclingSavvy is the gold standard for traffic cycling education today. Based on decades of research and experience, Keri Caffrey combines active learning with dynamic graphics to teach the principles of Mindful Bicycling:
* Empowerment to act as confident, equal road users;
* Strategies for safe, stress-free integrated cycling;
* Tools to read and problem-solve any traffic situation, bicycle-specific facility, or road design
Keri Caffrey will present some of the safety concepts central to Cycling Savvy to empower you to ride safely anywhere.
Here’s a taste: Spot 14 hazards for the cyclists. Take the quiz and bring your answers to the meeting.
Bio: Keri Caffrey is a technical illustrator and graphic designer with over 30 years of urban cycling experience and a passion for teaching.
Through three decades as a bike commuter and recreational group rider, she observed many close calls and conflicts. Studying the behavior of both cyclists and motorists, she became convinced that the greatest challenge facing American bicycling is a lack of education, coupled with a destructive belief system Americans have developed about our public roads.
Keri’s mission is to correct this problem, and empower individual bicyclists to ride with confidence. Through CyclingSavvy, she and co-founder Mighk Wilson created a toolset for bicyclists to use on their own terms, to enhance their preferred style of riding.
The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark. — Michelangelo
