Update 2: I've been helping teach one fo this month's group of adult-learn-to-ride students. (ages 14 to about 45, all women, about 60% East African). It's been a great class--over half are pedaling and very stable so we took them on a community ride down the Greenway to the River and back.

 

Update 1: Cycles has just completed its first round of 4 adult-learn-to-ride classes this year (two at Matthews Park by my house and two in St. Paul).  Next round starts this week!

 

So I'm doing it again--raising money for Cycles for Change's programs. C4C does a lot of cool things but my favorite is their adult learn to ride program. This program gives the gift of joy and freedom of riding a bike to adults who hav never learned to ride a bike. Seeing the smiles on those faces is amazing.

 

You can donate to my ride and help Cycles for Change. Please make a donation soon (they have an incentive for participants who get to $500 first)  Any amount is greatly appreciated!  (Here are some great stories from folks from C4C).
