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.

Getting outside and staying active is more important than ever, however, so we wanted to make sure we could safely get kids their bikes! Rather than asking families to come down to BBP to take a safety lesson and pick up their bikes, BBP decided to bring the sanitized bikes to the families, and give our safety lessons from a distance of 6ft+ away!

On the hardest days at BBP I hate wearing my helmet on my ride home. That’s not a statement reflecting my stance for or against helmets, it’s a self observation that’s true 100% of the time. On good days, most days, I put it on without thinking twice. Today when I walked out of BBP I wanted to throw my helmet against the building. Or even better, stomp it into an eggshell of pieces and kick the biggest chunk across the street. Instead I put it gently on my head, clicked the buckle under my chin and rode home.
