I think we can all agree that despite social distancing, we are finding meaningful ways to connect. Kindness and connection. That’s what I’m experiencing right now. I really feel that, through this challenge, our commitment to humanity is so strong, and that we are all looking inward and outward to explore what matters most.

During this time of pause, we want to share the stories of our bikes and their humans.

I’m a member of the League of American Bicyclists and have found their messaging to be very grounding for me, when it seems like everything is spiraling out of my control. Their newsletters are a great source for inspiration and advocacy education. I recommend you sign up, if you don’t already receive them.

I’m writing you from my BBP satellite space during this unprecedented time.

I wanted to share a personal story that I’ve shared with some of our staff and members I’m closest to, but that I haven’t really broadcast openly over the past 2 years of my employment at the beautiful place.
