Jayme Johnson: Bicycle Transportation Trainer

Cleveland Holloway

When Jayme was moving to Durham, she told her realtor that she wanted to buy a house three miles or less from Duke. Her realtor kept coming back with houses farther away and she told her, “You don’t get it!” Jayme had to convey to the realtor that the ability to have an environmentally friendly and pleasant commute was not something that she was willing to think of as an afterthought when committing to buying a house.

Her house hunt landed her in Tuscaloosa-Lakewood, the neighborhood from which she happily commuted by bicycle to Duke University. Last year Jayme made the move from Tuscaloosa-Lakewood to Cleveland Holloway, where she has been very impressed with the liveliness of the neighborhood and continues to enjoy a pleasant commute to Duke by bike.

As a Bicycle Transportation Trainer, Jayme is a resource to the neighborhood. Whether she is working to get kids in helmets, or fixing a flat, Jayme is living according to the values she is teaching to others.
