Meet our coaches series: Viv Schulze
I coach the ABC group.
I practise as a Physiotherapist, assisting people to get back to what they love doing.
My mountain bike journey started six years ago. I joined the Trail Angels, naively thinking I’d be cycling amongst flowers and not up, over or between rocks and roots of the Tokai and Cape Town trails. I was often petrified in the beginning.
Nikki and Lisa reeled me in with their patience and kindness. After many skill sessions, some tumbles and a lot of laughter, I started feeling different on my bike.
I am amazed at how subtle shifts in body/bike position improves balance, instantly converting “danger” fear signals into “safety” fun signals. Currently I love sharing how the body can be used to guide bike movement and maintain body/bike balance.
