[TheThinkTank] Advice on teaching URBAN RIDING to WOMEN?

[Claire Stoscheck]

Hello thinktankers!
I´m right now in Quito, Ecuador with a cool project called Todas en Bici
which is promoting biking as transportation for women in the city. We are
holding workshops teaching adult women to bike... and we have a group now
that already has balance and can basically bike. What we need are tips on
how to teach more advanced techniques like breaking, turns, shifting, hand
signals, and other tecniques to sucessfully bike in the city. If you have
any ideas or know of any already made manuals or the sort, please let me
know!

Also, please submit to the next issue of the feminist bike zine DAMES ON
FRAMES based out of Minneapolis, MN! Articles, stories, photos, drawings,
whatever...it all goes! About GENDER, EQUALITY, ACESSIBILITY AND BIKES. Send
your submissions (by August 7) to: damesonframes at gmail.com

THANKS!
Claire Stoscheck
