Bicycle to a healthier, happier, greener life. Book Bike Commute Coach Mary.

Woman, bike commute coach mary, on a bicycle by a brick wall.

I’m excited to launch Bike Anywhere to share the joys of bicycling.

Hello! My name is Mary, and I am a League Certified Bicycling Instructor.

Using my bike as my primary way to get around is so positive for me. As a working mom of two young kids, time just for me can feel limited and hard to get. Riding my bike for transportation gives me this time. I’m outside and I’m moving. I stay fit without having to go work out and I stay mentally healthy too. I have headspace to think. I have the chance to notice the sun on the Mississippi River and a thousand other little details of the natural world.

I’ve started Bike Anywhere to help other people ride their bicycles more for fitness, their mental health, our climate or whatever reason.

I’ve been bike commuting for over fifteen years, six of them with children and in all kinds of weather from Minnesota winters to Texas summers.

Professionally, I have led thousands of people on outdoor events and bike rides as a National Park Service Park Ranger, an outings leader with the Sierra Club, and with Bike Houston. I am an award winning Bicycle Safety Advocate.

In the Twin Cities we are lucky to have top ranked bike trails, lanes and routes. You deserve to ride them and I can’t wait to ride with you!
