Wow! What a year 2020 is shaping up to be, right? One steady solace and friend getting me through these tense times has been my trusty bicycle. 'Mobility' is all its forms is a key determinant in one's quality of life.
I have also had the privilege to serve as a member of the Bikes Not Bombs Board of Directors for the last 4 years. This Sunday I am riding 50 miles to fundraise and support BNBs impact. Since BNB's mission rode into my life, I've witnessed the amazing and radical work of our staff and volunteers as they use the bicycle as a vehicle for social change.
Whether its shipping reclaimed bikes to partners around the world, responding to the needs of Boston's essential workers with the BikeMatch program, or BNB youth marshalling the ongoing Rides for Black Lives, even after 36 years Bike Not Bombs continues to beat the drum of the righteous and the just!
The need for bikes, MOBILITY and Bikes Not Bombs is greater now more than ever before - YOUR ACTION needed is now more than ever before!
JOIN my Bike-A-Thon team, the PowerShifters, as we to ride onwards ripping through the streets as agents of change armed with solutions, or DONATE to our cause.
Thanks and Peace,
Patrick
