TL;DR: a new bicyclist in the hood

Relatively new neighbor, remarkable for her driving habits: careful, slow, lawful. We routinely encounter her on our bike ride home from school; I always appreciate her presence. But when her car didn't pass us along the usual stretch of road today, I started to wonder what happened...until SHE PASSED US ON A BIKE!!!

She'd been noticing us every day, slowly getting up her nerve to start biking, and today she took the plunge!

@DrTCombs Very contagious. Have been seeing more bikers on Broadway on the Upper West Side of NYC.

@Cycling_Liz Thank you! We were so excited when she rode up and thanked us for inspiring her. 😍

She's see you doing the right thing, gets her thinking and then has a go

Well done Dr Combs!
