You bike, ‘We Bike’
Tuesday, April 7, 2020 by Tai Moses
Ghisallo Cycling Initiative has kicked off a campaign to get people out of their homes and onto their bikes at least once a week. Before the pandemic and the shelter-in-place orders hit, the Austin nonprofit had planned to promote biking to work every Wednesday in April as a way to warm up for Bike Month in May. Now Ghisallo has adapted the campaign into “We Bike Wednesdays,” an invitation to take yourself for a solo bike ride and connect with others on social media. Post photos of your biking experiences on Facebook or on Instagram using the tag #gciwbw. Always keep at least a 6-foot distance between yourself and other cyclists, and please, bike solo or with members of your immediate household only.
