My Journey
I became a League Cycling Instructor (LCI) because I enjoy sharing my love for cycling and want to support others on their journey to enjoy cycling. I first started biking as a kid just like most people, I had different bikes growing up. I biked bit when I lived in the Washington, DC area, but mostly on trails. I never had the confidence or awareness of how to bike on city streets until I started riding with people who were more advanced than me. I started volunteering and realized I wanted to help demystify cycling for other people, especially people of color. Cycling is an amazing way to build community, enjoy the outdoors, relieve stress, boost your health/wellness, experience the beauty of a city and reduce your carbon footprint.

“In 2021, I was encouraged to attend a casual ride with Deidre. This was my first time on a bike in a decade, and this turned into a wonderful 11-mile adventure where I explored new trails and parts of the city I normally drive by. This experience reminded me how much I loved to ride, and bought a new bike to continue riding on my own. We have ridden a few more times together, and every time is as lovely as the first.
