Les Leathem

Les is a life-long bicycle driver who has been involved with many types of riding: urban, suburban, rural; short- and long-distance (week-long, 500-mile rides). As a cycling advocate, he rewrote state driver manuals, created and edited bicycle safety materials for public and law enforcement use, and testified before municipal and state committees. His career in marketing and research consulting built success creating and delivering presentations and teaching audiences, large and small. Les is excited to teach not only standard League curricula, but also custom courses based on LAB material that he has developed for specific needs in groups ranging from bicycling clubs to Cub Scouts to law enforcement.
