Dave Glowacz is the Director of Education for the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation, one of the largest bike advocacy groups in the country. He’s also known as “Mr. Bike,” and author of the well-known book, Urban Bikers’ Tricks & Tips.
Around two years ago, he read about the Community Cycling Center’s Create-a-Commuter program in a bike industry magazine and has been interested in it ever since. Glowacz connected with several of Portland’s bike-eratti at the recent Pro Walk/Pro Bike conference in Madison Wisconsin and he’s currently on week-long fact-finding mission in Portland to learn more about the program.
