Bike joy, found during a global pandemic
Life for humans on earth was utterly upended in 2020. In the great upending, new space was created — space to form new habits; gain new skills; or connect with loved ones in deep ways.
During the past year, our friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues have shared countless stories about finding joy while riding a bike: Parents teaching their children to ride without training wheels; folks taking their pets on bike rides; and individuals flying solo to maintain sanity.
Here is our effort to collect those stories and to amplify the joy. If you’d like to share your story about finding joy on two wheels, we’d love to include it in the collection. Thank you to all who shared, and bike on!
