Driving Your Bike

(Via All Over Albany)

For those of you who don't know, I had an incident the other day on Western Ave.  I am fine and my bike is fine.  All I am left with is a sore shoulder and a seething hatred for the faculty of SUNYA.

We'd like to bike more in the Capital Region. Really, we would. But frankly, we're a bit, well, chicken. OK, maybe not exactly chicken. It's just that riding a bike in an area with few bike lanes and often-inconsiderate drivers seems a bit hazardous.

Which is why Tamara Flanders new class on how to "drive" a bike looked interesting to us. Flanders is a holistic health teacher who added a class for novice adult cyclists to her repertoire this spring.
