Wonderful clip about Cycles of Change in East Oakland.

I'm doing a bike-a-thon to support them. Pledge here.

I'm riding in the Cycles of Change Bike-a-thon in June. I'll be doing laps around Lake Merritt for an hour and you can donate a sum, to support Cycles of Change. Cycles of Change provides bikes and bike education to East Oakland youth.

The Bike-a-thon will be live-streamed, too. So feel free to watch on June 18.

Oh man, this journey looks amazing. I love the cold and ice and can just imagine the sensory deprivation that the snow causes, absorbing all the sound, mixed with the cracking ice. Oh I want to do this ride. Beautiful images in this short movie.

This short came out a couple of months ago, but since I'm revisiting stuff for National Bike Month, I thought I'd share it here.

Very important stuff about weight and fatness and perception about what different bodies are capable of and are allowed to do. This is definitely more of a beginning of a conversation and not an end. Maybe Shimano will make more? I'm not sure if they will. I went ahead and followed Kailey and Marley on social media anyway. Bikes are not just for thin or straight-sized people.

The Bicycle Film Festival is virtual this year and we bought the tickets for the San Francisco screening time. We loved it- a wonderful mix of the previous years' films and new ones. Some from the 2012 Olympics, and one from the BLM protests of 2020. I loved the first animation one. Very cute. Highly recommend watching it. My kids really got into it and one now wants to try BMX.

My family is participating in this scavenger hunt. It's made the kids more engaged this last week of the pandemic summer, which has been very good for them and our whole family. Signing up is free.
