[Brian Lacy]

Hello Portland metro cyclists and would-be cyclists,

With 27 years teaching children, women and men how to fix and ride bikes, I am formally putting all this experience into what I am calling Bike Empowered. If you or someone you know would ride, or ride more with some coaching, please forward this note to them or speak with them.

Bike Empowered coaches individuals and small groups in every aspect of riding – for your health, safety and joy.

Our comprehensive courses:

 Address and resolve concerns: bodily pains, bike condition, bike handling skills, flat repair, route obstacles, time management, bike-to-job clothing, etc. There is no hurdle we haven’t solved.

 Set your riding goals: from a weekly ride to the store to all winter commuting. Feel the inspiration B.E. and your group can give.

 Give personal and small group coaching so you can ride with confidence and reach your destination as planned pain and tension free!

 Lead additional rides to destinations such as downtown, local stores, entertainment, access to designated bike routes, and more.

From Nov. 07 to Mar. 08, B.E. is holding courses in:

 Good winter weather novice riding group (riding skills, bike comfort, routes and rides).

 All weather riding for intermediate riders (gear, lights, expert handling skills, rides).

 Basic & intermediate repair courses -- fix your own bike this winter.

 Wheel building (includes extensive wheel truing education).
