Bike Bus Leader Rob Galanakis

Broadcast on:
08 Jan 2024

Last Wednesday Glencoe Bike Bus leader was assaulted by a driver who was outraged that he had to drive behind Rob and a group of kids biking to school. I know, right?! Who does that?

In this episode, Jonathan Maus and Rob talk about what happened on SE 61st & Burnside, and more importantly, how Rob de-escalated the situation. You'll learn what goes into leading a bike bus and why training for leaders is so important to making sure kids have a good experience. Rob's insights, advice, and general vibe are something I think all ride leaders should pay attention to.
