I ran across this article today about why women should learn to ride. I don’t disagree with anything in the article, but some of the suggestions are pretty cut and dried.

Why We Ride is a new film released this year, but you won’t find it in theaters. While the film was made to appeal to both riders and non-riders, if you ride, it is a must-see film. It delves into the lives of those who have made riding their life, in one form or another. […]

Excellent video explaining Motorman’s (Jerry Palladino) intersection exercise. He details distances for the cones, as well as technique, following up with a video demonstration.
