Frank Peters is a cycling advocate I thoroughly admire. His approach to the mission is all about safety and he understands and promotes the upside benefits to local business when a community embraces policies and builds infrastructure to increase the safety of cyclists on their streets.

He lives in Corona del Mar and has been instrumental in establishing sharrows in his city’s master plan for Pacific Coast Highway through their community.  This is a part of the transformation that’s stretching out along the California coast and across the U.S.

Frank “Rides the Ride” so he can “Talk the Love” and he’s jack’n it out on both fronts at a crack’n ass extreme.  He came to embrace cycling later in his life; he’s turning a respectful 60 on August 21 while on a family cycling trip in the Pacific Northwest.

Through his riding, he came to realize he needed to understand the mechanics of bicycle maintenance so he and his son recently completed a week long course at the United Bicycle Institute in Portland, Oregon; he’s proudly holding the certificate of completion in the photo.

He talks about cycling like an eager evangelist full of enthusiasm and promotes his advocacy principles with the cool, level headed approach of a savvy businessman.
