Meet Kaysha. She learned how to ride a bike today! Her goal is to be able to ride a bike with her friends on the Atlanta Beltline (shhhhh; they don’t know yet that she didn’t know how to ride — she wants to surprise them). Kaysha said I could share her journey to help encourage others.
If you’d like to join the bike boom but need some help learning how to ride, see here. Most women who never rode before ride independently within 1.5 hours. No kidding.
If you are a city/county/country leader, please understand the urgency of creating safe spaces immediately. Kaysha is out there practicing, and her life (and mine) depends on safe access that meets NACTO guidelines. Thanks.
