Working in and around the ebike industry since 2018, I have been inspired by ebikes’ ability to give young people transportation independence and replace parental car trips to school and activities. But what has emerged are issues with improper use, out-of-compliance vehicles, and resulting injuries. The situation has become so severe, some small towns are banning ebikes outright. If this spreads, it will greatly affect the health of the ebike industry and impact the freedom/fun ebikes have brought teens. Cities are quick to blame teens for ebike lawlessness. But we have to remember that we’ve put kids on motor vehicles that have never taken driver education, driver training, nor have been behind the wheel of an automobile. They don’t know the rules of the road and the strategies experienced bicyclists use to be seen and stay safe from cars. I have spent the past six months working hard with the American Bicycling Education Association, Inc. (ABEA) on an initiative that will reduce accidents and injuries for ebike-riding teens. ABEA Curriculum Director, Keri Caffrey and I have built a learning module for youth and teens that use ebikes daily for transportation independence. This will be licensed to school districts and municipalities to train students and residents on the rules of the road and strategies to place themselves in situations where they will be seen by, and safely coexist with four-wheel vehicles. We will also provide licenses to ebike brands and bicycle dealers to provide courses to their customers. And of course, parents will be able to purchase the course for their kids or their whole family. The ABEA-produced curriculum is designed by instructors with decades of experience in bicycle education, not just local parents or CHP officers like some other ebike courses. Additionally, the non-profit nature of the ABEA allowed us to deliver this at a cost that everyone can afford, not just wealthy parents. Thanks to everyone that has supported this project. Now we set off to try and get as many young kids trained to keep them safe and our industry healthy. Friends and members of the industry, please reach out to me directly and I will share a link for you to experience the course for yourself. https://lnkd.in/gEC7j9an

On-leash practice? In a parking lot?! Working in a parking lot after indoor training is a great baby step as there are no great smells on the ground like when training in the grass. This helps puppies learn in a slightly harder place which sets them up for success. #dogtraining #onleashtraining #puppytraining #utahdogs

So, who has had their “Year In Sport” from Strava? It is a fantastic tool for reflecting on our accomplishments, but for Canicrossers, it often misses the full picture of what we’ve truly achieved. Canicross is so much more than a numbers game. Strava doesn’t capture the nuances of running with a dog. Think of the extra time and energy spent ensuring our dogs are physically and mentally prepared, from warm-ups to cool-downs and mid-run checks. Those sniff breaks and water stops? They’re not logged but are crucial to the well-being of our running partners. Comment PARTNERS ?? for ways we prepare our dogs for the trails to ensure their welfare is our number 1 priority.

This article discusses why I'm not a fan of the most common weighting test taught in freediving classes. When asked how much weight to wear, most freediving instructors respond with enough to be neutrally buoyant at 33 feet. This article covers why I'm not a fan of that test and what test I think is better, faster, and much easier to do. The article is at FreediveUniversity.com, and I have included the link below in the comments.

Learning About Horses - It's A Lifelong Thing! For those who have been around horses for a while and work diligently to preserve their horse's welfare as a central component of skilled riding, there is a lot to learn. Sadly, many of us learn through the mistakes we make or advice we take that is not based on an acceptable level of evidence or research based information. As the horse world is coming under more and more scrutiny, it is up to those in the industry to stop and consider what we ask of these horses and how our decisions impact them. Learning to be skilled rider, worthy of the medals being won or gymnastic performances given, our horses must come first. What is your horse telling you from a physical, mental and emotion perspective? Join us on this journey of becoming worthy advocates, owners, riders, professionals and organizations that take pride in caring for the horses that do so much for us.

Basic Balance - The Foundation of Everything It is much harder than we think. Combining a horse and rider harmoniously. There is a lot to understand about the impact we have on them. How can we move the needle to make horse welfare a priority and the main objective of ridden work? Education is key. Definition of key terms is essential. What is horse welfare - from the horse's perspective? What is self carriage - from the horse's biomechanical perspective? What is rider skill - from the horse's perspective? We need to turn a lot of the existing horse culture on it's head and start debunking some of the myths and practices that harm our horses. The evidence and research is there to guide us in this direction. Join the evolution towards better, horse welfare centric, evidence and research based protocols that prioritize horse welfare and owner/professional education.
