Become a Savvy Cyclist
Whether you're a bicyclist or a savvy cyclist, Green Options Buffalo is offering a Savvy Cyclist class this Sunday, June 29 from 10 AM-3 PM. The class will be held at Buffalo Blue Bicycle, which is located at 98 Colvin Avenue, and taught by a certified instructor from the League of American Bicyclists.
Limited to 15 people due to the intensity of the class, cyclists lucky enough to attend will learn how to fix a flat tire and get their cycle inspected to make sure it's safe and working properly.
Furthermore, students will walk away from the course with a "confidence to ride safely and legally in traffic or on the trail, knowledge of how to maintain their cycles, and an overall full understanding of vehicular cycling", says Justin Booth Director of Green Options Buffalo. But, don't worry, this class is not all classroom, it's mostly hands-on and bike-riding activities.
Unfortunately, the Savvy Cyclist class, as of right now, is only available this one time. However, if there is enough demand created, Green Options Buffalo will hold classes in the future.
All attendees are required to have basic bike skills such as starting, stopping, balancing, and steering (without falling).

A Kennedy Visits Buffalo
Caroline Kennedy was in town for a visit with our mayor yesterday. A possible choice to succeed US Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Kennedy's name has been mentioned along with that of Attorney General Andrew Cuomo (son of former New York Governor Mario Cuomo) and our own Byron Brown, among others.
Certainly, Kennedy has "been around politics" all of her life, which is to say she was born into a family of politicos and lived in the White House--neither of which would necessarily f … - Dec 18th 2008, 7:55am

The NFTA Santa Ride
Well it is Christmas time in the city and the NFTA helped put people and especially children into the mood in a very festive and fun way. One of my favorite memories of childhood was taking the train downtown with my grandfather. I would gaze out the windows and watch the tunnel speed by. It always felt like we were going a million miles an hour.
Then there was the ability to stand up and walk around during the ride without the need to be strapped down. It was always a fun time … - Dec 17th 2008, 4:34pm

Welcome to BRO, Bicycle Riding Online.
The 'Savvy Cyclist' class sounds a lot like 'Bike Rodeo' day in Elementary school, I just wonder if they will be handing out big orange flags to put on the back of our bikes.
