I first got into biking back in 2013 in San Francisco and have been riding ever since. Whether it is to commute, exercise, or explore new areas, biking is my default mode of transportation. 

I'm participating in the Bike-A-Thon to force myself to complete a "Metric Century" (63 miles, or 100 km) for the first time and to support Bikes Not Bombs. 

Bikes Not Bombs uses the bicycle as a vehicle for social change to achieve economic mobility for Black and other marginalized people in Boston and the Global South. I really appreciate that Bikes Not Bombs focuses on self empowerment - through their bike school, they not only teach people how to build / repair bikes but also give them the bike they built. It's a great mission that I'm happy to support.

I'd appreciate any donation to help me reach my goal!
