I once took a recumbent cyclist from a (presumed) small town Ohio on a tour of Boston, and gingerly showed him around, riding as carefully as possible….he revealed that he is a certified Cycling Instructor by the League of American Cyclists and taught safe, including urban, cycling to adults and children. As a decades-long, year-round urban cyclist, I proudly told him I learned by experience, and he replied, “It shows. You made some mistakes out there.”
It was Stun's proclamation.
