There’s a story both enabled by Motonormativity and bicycles
A kid from the neighborhood doesn’t have the smoothest home life. It’s so hard these days.
Riding to school, we met him walking in tears back home. We stopped to talk to him and I gave him a hug. He said he was not feeling well. 🧵

He seemed genuinely concerned and appreciative of my presence
I chaperoned him back to school and on the way two cars stopped me. One with the principal and one with the admin.
I feel like this speaks volumes to the type of interactions you get if you only travel in a car
It’s important to remember that cycling doesn’t just improve your health. It improves your communities.
I think we all have the capability to be incredible community members. We just have to be there.
Getting out of your box is all you need to do to be a better person

I hate running
