The Human Car

Here I am pictured just behind someone who had a very good excuse for not participating in bike to work day so I talked her into at let giving a little bike ride a try.

Or sometimes it’s more mundane like this story:

It's all about having fun and doing something practical at the same time.

I participated in my counties Bike to Work work, and am continuing to commute by bike. I volunteer for Pedals for Progress, a nonprofit which collects donated bicycles for shipment overseas to developing countries. I donate to East Coast Greenway. And, all my bikes are "recycled".

I bike to work during non-winter months, and park my bike at my desk when I'm in the office.

I've organize weekend rides with friends to introduce them slowly to the idea that they can get places by bike, as well as talk a lot about my cycling experience and how nice a part of my life it is.

I registered my office in the Commuter Challenge the last couple years, and got a few people to ride into work (small office, still not super pleased with the turn out, but hey, better than nothing).

I endeavor to not inconvenience, aggravate or worry people I share the road with when I'm riding.

That being said I cycle assertively, take the lane when necessary etc. I have always stood up for myself when someone does something stupid, but I always tend to make sure that I educate the driver as WELL as express my frustration. (Keep name calling to a minimum, always point out how it's MY life on the line that they're endangering.)

I'll admit I don't suffer from a slavish devotion to the rules (be they regulations or part of the VC bible) but I try not to flaunt disrespect for them either. I might hop a curb for a few feet, or pass a stopped row of cars, but I won't ride the wrong way down a street, burn lights etc.

As a person with visual and other disabilities, many health professionals and others tried to discourage me from bicycling in the very beginning. Today, they all support my bicycling activities and some have taken up bicycling from my example.

I have been active in supporting various legislation related to bicycling. Currently, there is a bill for improved road safety and updated bicycling laws making its way through the Maine House and Senate.

I've participated in the American Lung Association's Bike Trek Across Maine. I'm the first visually impaired cyclist to make it all the way from beginning to end. After completing the Trek 14 times, people who helped me raise funds to do the Trek are happy to support me again, have also signed up to do the Trek, or have taken up bicycling themselves.

In one Maine town, I was asked to take part in their July 4th Parade because of my bicycling experiences.
I've been asked back every year since. Last year, I ended up leading a bicyclist's unit of up to 36 riders.

I've joined the Bicycle Coalition of Maine, a bicycling organization made up of numerous bicycle clubs and members from almost everywhere. It supports bicycling and cyclist's rights.

I spend much time talking to others advocating bicycling on my own. I've gotten dozens of people to either support or take up bicycling on their own.

Lastly, I ride my bicycle as often as I can.

Educated myself on safe traffic riding and try to set a good example. Took LAB Road I course.

Joined my state bicycle coalition.

Attended that organization's bike safety instructor training, and will be talking to a group of Cub Scouts about bike safety this Sunday.

Co-led Bikes for the Bayou in December 2005, which shipped over 400 bikes to residents of East Biloxi, MS, after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Have participated in my local Bike/Ped Advisory Committee.

Started and continue to lead a bicycle commuting club.

With others from that club, have organized "valet bike parking" at two events this summer.

I ride safely to work each day.

I'm on the board of directors of my local bicycle advocacy group, Bicycle Advocacy of Central Arkansas. Active in the group of course, organizing parade rides and the Ride of Silence. I also help out at our exhibits at local events, answering peoples questions and encouraging others to ride.

I regularly speak at trade show events for Industrial Security, and there are occaisionally City Managers present that either are directly involved with public safety or indirectly involved. I make it a point to encourage those cycling-friendly communities as much as possible, and encourage law enforcement professionals to start using cycle patrols.
