Transition Houston August meeting

Transition Houston meets on the first Tuesday of each month, at Christ the King Lutheran Church at the corner of Greenbriar and Rice Blvd. (near Rice Village).

We are very fortunate to have Peter Wang, League of American Bicyclists Cycling Instructor, as our guest speaker. Peter is considered a local biking expert. He's everywhere as a go-to guy for media interviews about bikes, and has been involved in a lot of bicycle issues. He is risk-averse--exactly the kind of guy you would want to help you practice being safer!--and has taught a lot of these safety classes.

He will present a video screening followed by a discussion. The video is Enjoy The Ride about essential bicycling skills. It will provide straightforward instruction for checking over your bike, bike-handling skills, and riding confidently in traffic. The video is based on principles of the BikeEd curriculum developed by the League of American Bicyclists

TOPICS COVERED

pre-ride checklist
bicycle handling skills
riding in traffic
identifying & avoiding hazards
riding in all conditions (night, rain, hills)

We will also have updates from our Neighborhood Initiatives and Action Groups.

As is our tradition, the business program will end at 8:30 and the time for refreshments, conversation, and community will begin.

Parking: If the Church lot is full, parking is available in the parking lot of the Rice Village Animal Hospital just across Rice Blvd. on the northwest corner of Rice and Greenbriar. Another option is the Rice University parking lot across Greenbriar from the Church ($1). Bicycle parking is in the greenspace within the church parking lot.
