I volunteer with a Utrecht non-profit De Fietsmeesters to help teach adults how to bike. Students are almost always women, and mostly new immigrants. There are 16 new riders in this class, and 4 of us volunteers.

By the end of 10 weeks almost everyone is successfully biking on the road — it's so empowering!

@CathyTuttle Are you teaching people who don’t know how to ride a bicycle at all, or are you teaching people who already can ride additional skills to make it practical transportation?

@Twotired A mix. More than half have never ridden a bike, but everyone needs to learn practical skills for everyday riding on the road.
