Here is the final version of my curated calendar for National Bike Month (through a Metro Atlanta lens). Below are links with more details (some still to be added).
There is obviously a ton more happening close to home, across the USA, and around the world. Enjoy your additional discoveries! There’s room in this movement for ALL of us — no need to be left out of the biggest bike boom since the 1970s!
Trust the journey,

Every day I take a leap of faith . . . and I look forward to the day when riding a bike doesn’t require one.

Thank you for your support. 100% of proceeds from the sale of my book, Traveling at the Speed of Bike, as well as my original-art Artsy Bike Face Mask, are used to help more women and girls ride bikes.
Also, there’s a bib! You can order it here. See an adorable baby modeling it here. (Reminder: Kids don’t wait. They grow up. You can’t “feel like a kid again” when you ride a bike for the rest of your life . . . if you didn’t ride a bike as a kid. The time for change is now.)
