From my youth, I\u2019ve cycled in several disciplines, including daily commuting, road racing, mountain, touring, fixed gear, gravel. In graduate school (2007-13), I shared my mechanic experience at a local bike co-op, which led me to a broader understanding of how bicycles can be instrumental to a more sustainable, just, and equitable society. In 2019, I completed CSI training and immediately connected CyclingSavvy to these ideals. I look forward to spreading the message.<\/p>\n<p>mic&#104;&#97;&#101;&#x6c;&#x40;&#x61;&#x62;&#x65;&#x61;&#46;bi&#107;&#101;<\/p>\n<\/div><span class='hidden team-member-affiliation'  itemprop=\"affiliation\" >American Bicycling Education Association<\/span><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1gwes-10309fbc7a690585be6a18d4ab37d83e\">\n.flex_column.av-1gwes-10309fbc7a690585be6a18d4ab37d83e{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1gwes-10309fbc7a690585be6a18d4ab37d83e av_one_half  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_half  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1gwes-200f12f193d80bb220f9827cd4f80acd\">\n.flex_column.av-1gwes-200f12f193d80bb220f9827cd4f80acd{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1gwes-200f12f193d80bb220f9827cd4f80acd av_one_half  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='avia-team-member av-jjt0ivxj-b510f93a530ff95e89229dbed5d78a8e  avia-builder-el-5  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><div class=\"team-img-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-29 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-29 avia_image avia_image_team' src=\"https:\/\/abea.bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Randy-Profeta-cropped.jpg\" alt='Randy Profeta'  itemprop=\"image\"   height=\"310\" width=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abea.bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Randy-Profeta-cropped.jpg 550w, https:\/\/abea.bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Randy-Profeta-cropped-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/abea.bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Randy-Profeta-cropped-450x254.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/div><h3 class='team-member-name '  itemprop=\"name\" >Randy Profeta<\/h3><div class='team-member-job-title '  itemprop=\"jobTitle\" >Treasurer<\/div><div class='team-member-description '  itemprop=\"description\" ><p>CyclingSavvy Instructor<br \/>\nIrvine, California<\/p>\n<p>Randy has been an active cyclist since 1998 when he and his family relocated from New Jersey to Southern California.

Due to a visual disability, I cannot acquire a driver\u2019s license. I once thought of this limitation as a severe one. I made some trips by foot, bike, and bus, and relied on friends and family members with cars to give me rides for some other trips. For the most part, however, the difficulty I had in traveling prevented me from living what most people would consider a full life.<\/p>\n<p>I learned to DRIVE a bike at age 27, and it radically transformed my life. Suddenly I could go wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted, in a reliable, flexible, carefree manner. It felt as if I was no longer disabled.<\/p>\n<p>Now I travel almost entirely by bicycle. I have found that good cycling habits provide me with more freedom and flexibility than I could ever achieve through driving a motor vehicle. I\u2019ve cycled in ten states and the District of Columbia, on a wide variety of roads under a wide variety of conditions. I have made trips of up to 200 miles.<\/p>\n<\/div><span class='hidden team-member-affiliation'  itemprop=\"affiliation\" >American Bicycling Education Association<\/span><\/section><\/div>\n<div  class='hr av-12w38-33d4b5a72a8b867bbb5324c225581840 hr-default  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-jjt278eq-4a881fce637979f7c9340f7fe02c4cb4 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h1>Directors<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1gwes-200f12f193d80bb220f9827cd4f80acd\">\n.flex_column.av-1gwes-200f12f193d80bb220f9827cd4f80acd{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1gwes-200f12f193d80bb220f9827cd4f80acd av_one_half  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='avia-team-member av-jjt0ivxj-82a77f619b0c1abcafe051983ac826bc  avia-builder-el-11  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" ><div class=\"team-img-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-27 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-27 avia_image avia_image_team' src=\"https:\/\/abea.bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Karen_Karabell.jpg\" alt='Karen Karabell'  itemprop=\"image\"   height=\"554\" width=\"987\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abea.bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Karen_Karabell.jpg 987w, https:\/\/abea.bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Karen_Karabell-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/abea.bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Karen_Karabell-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/abea.bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Karen_Karabell-705x396.jpg 705w, https:\/\/abea.bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Karen_Karabell-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 987px) 100vw, 987px\" \/><\/div><h3 class='team-member-name '  itemprop=\"name\" >Karen Karabell<\/h3><div class='team-member-description '  itemprop=\"description\" ><p>CyclingSavvy Instructor<br \/>\nSt. Louis, Missouri<\/p>\n<p>When I went to Orlando in 2011 to check out CyclingSavvy, I had been using my bicycle for transportation for well over a decade.
