Jerry White is a lifelong bicycle rider, beginning at age 8 on a Columbia Bike from the workshop of S. Claus (with earlier preparatory experience on a blue tricycle). His bicycle experience has been continuous to this day using three Schwinns, a Dunelt, and currently a Montague Alston and a Co-Motion Primera. He is a constant city rider in Colorado Springs, seldom seen in a motor vehicle. Jerry and his wife Cathy are committed bicycle travelers, and have ridden their tandem extensively in the U.S., Canada and Europe. To mark their 50th birthdays they spent 100 days seeing the United States on a self-supported tandem pilgrimage from Florence, Oregon to Yorktown, Virginia.
Jerry’s passion for bicycle advocacy stems from his experience of riding in more than 75 cities in 17 countries and believing that the people (of all ages) in Colorado Springs deserve the best and safest bicycle infrastructure that contemporary design engineers have to offer. In addition to his bicycling knowledge, he brings to the table advocacy skills acquired through many years of volunteer work with the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, the American College of Radiology and the American Society for Radiation Oncology.
