Hey all! I am one of the instructors for CyclingSavvy here in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. I have been riding in Dallas for over 7 years, yet the material from this course completely changed how I ride my bike. Before this course, I was baffled at why cyclists and motorist couldn't get along...
