My love of biking took off around 13 when I got my first road bike, a refurbished mid-eighties Trek 510 that was my steady companion on many long, ponderous rides. My bike gave me physical and mental space and newfound autonomy. Ever since, biking has been my favourite way to explore and get around. When I moved to Montreal for university, I got to know my new city from the saddle of a bright red Austro-Daimler that I eventually named Bernie. Since moving to Vancouver five years ago, I’ve ventured out on my bike all around the Lower Mainland and have even taken some overnight bike trips to some of the Gulf Islands.
I am passionate about working with youth, sparking and enabling their curiosity, and giving them the tools to proceed through life with confidence. I know firsthand how biking can support young people’s imagination and independence, so I’m thrilled to have this opportunity to be a Bike Ed Instructor!
