“While learning to navigate my bike through the busy city streets was definitely a major accomplishment, these days I would much rather take a ride by the ocean. I can always feel myself smiling ear to ear when riding at the shore!” Women In Transition

“During the pandemic, getting out on my bike has been essential to my mental health. The fresh air and exercise always helps me clear my head and shake off stress. As someone who doesn't have a car, biking has also enabled me to get beyond the city and explore the beautiful parks, trails, and communities surrounding Philadelphia!”

“I started biking because diagnosed with diabetes and walking was too heavy on my knee so I started biking and I loved it and I built a group to go biking every morning on Kelly Drive. It is a wonderful activity for your health; for your meditation. I enjoy biking so much.”

“I bike because I love hills…that feeling of pride you get when you’ve biked up a tough one, and the sheer joy you experience flying down the other side 😊.” Women In Transition

To me, biking means freedom! When I was back on my feet after escaping an abusive relationship, the first thing I did was move back to the city and get my bike tuned up. Being able to get around without spending money or relying on anyone was huge--AND there's nothing like coasting downhill on a summer evening to make you feel like a carefree kid again.
