I've been a fan of riding a bike since I was very little.  I got into a little when a friend of mine helped me customize my mountain bike in maybe 5th or 6th grade, then a little bit more when I got to college, then I dropped out of biking for a while and then I got back into it when I moved to Boston for Grad School.  I started volunteering with Bikes Not Bombs in 2018 and also started doing their bike a thon around then.  Biking helps me stay in shape and I love riding around on the bike I built basically on my own starting from the frame up.  I hope to be riding for many years and that my enjoyment of riding my road bike grows as I get older.
