As many of you know, I have become an avid bike rider in recent years.

In addition to riding daily to campus to teach my classes (even in winter), I am also participating in the 2024 Bikes Not Bombs annual Bike-a-Thon and will be riding 50 miles on September 8th to raise money for local youth and workforce development programs in Boston as well as our international programs which ship thousands of bikes each year to their community-based partners in Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

Bikes Not Bombs is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit that started in 1984.

If you have a few dollars you might be willing to spare to help me raise money for this bike-a-thon, I would be very grateful! Every dollar makes a huge difference and will help me power through the 50 mile ride in September.
