Bike-A-Thon 2021

I'm excited to be riding the Bikes Not Bombs Bike-a-Thon for the 3rd time! The first time, I rode 10 miles with my partner, then I rode 30 miles with a team of friends, and now I'm organizing a team of friends to ride various distances from 10-50 miles. (Exact routes TBD for different people.)

To me, Bikes Not Bombs' most exciting work is their work with youth. They offer classes on riding and bike repair for young people, and students of mine both in Boston and in Wellesley have enjoyed them. One student even started repairing his friends' bikes after doing the BNB program! They also have a program specifially for girls and women; the gender imbalance of people who ride bicycles is not hard to see, and the Sisters in Action program both builds community and is a step toward correcting that imbalance.

For my part, riding my bike has been a highlight during a wild, unpredictable, and often lonely time during the COVID pandemic. I bought a new bike in May that I have been enjoying riding, and I am excited to ride more often, longer, and with friends!
