Teachers
Susan McLucas
We occasionally share our experiences as teachers in the Bicycle Riding School Diary.
For more than 30 years, Susan McLucas has been teaching adults and children to ride bicycles. Since then, thousands of people have enjoyed the exhilaration and liberation of this new way of life. Susan has shared her teaching method with other teachers and together they share the teaching.
When she's not teaching bike-riding, Susan ("the Bicycle Whisperer") McLucas works for women's right to their whole bodies, with Sini Sanuman (Healthy Tomorrow) in Bamako, Mali (StopExcision.net).
She also works for peace, participating since 1997 in a weekly vigil against US wars (see this Boston Herald article) and raising awareness about Guantanamo, ending economic sanctions (TV coverage) and political prisoners like Private Manning (video1, video2). She likes to care for "public fruit," such as the raspberries in front of her house. She sings and plays guitar and can say hello in 50 languages.
You can reach Susan at (617) 776-6524 or (617) 501-9125 (cell) and SusanBMcL@gmail.com.
