When I was seven years old, I used my paper route money to by my first Schwinn Sting-Ray. I have been riding on and off road ever since. I have ridden all around the country and the world, racing and riding for fun. I won a national title in 2006- NORBA NMBS series champion and rode as a member of the U.S. team at the World Masters Mountain Bike championships. I was 7th at that race.
I have taught kids to ski for 10 years during and after college. My understanding of kids learning methods and techniques will be useful as a basis for teaching kids what I know about riding bikes.
