The Student Becoming The Teacher
A few weeks ago I received a phone call inquiring if I would be interested in teaching fit. Teaching was nothing I had ever considered but I figured that I would give it a go and a few weeks later I was driving up to Victory Bicycle Studio in Memphis, TN.
I spent 2 intensive days with their fitter/manager going through every detail and step of our fit process and practicing on their team, Victory Test Team.
The best bike shop in Memphis has elevated their fit services to a new level and were happy to help. If your in the Memphis area be sure to check them out.

2014 National Bike Summit and Women's Cycling Forum
The Summit includes a lobby day on Capitol Hill where we met with Alabama Senators and Congressmen / Congresswomen (or their staff in most cases). Visiting all of the representatives from Alabama is tough to do in just 1 day but we split up and got it done. At the end of the day we calculated 11 miles of walking.
On lobby day we made 3 ask for upcoming bicycle related legislation:
1- Co-sponsor the Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Act
2- Please support the Safe Streets Act (previously called Complete Streets)
3- Please support the New Opportunities For Bicycle and Pedestrian Infrastructure Financing Act
The Summit was exciting everyday included keynote addresses from top government officials, members of Congress, and leaders from advocacy and industry.
The Alabama delegation.
The weather in Washington D.C. was less than ideal. 8 inches of snow and temperatures dipping down to 15 degrees.
We are already looking forward to attending the National Bike Summit in 2015!
