Cycling has given me opportunities to meet friends, create and collaborate. Recently, I volunteered at an event where a local artist’s design was painted onto a bike lane. With brushes in hand, we transformed a piece of asphalt into something vibrant and welcoming. Riding over that lane now, makes me smile every time. The city became our coloring book, and we left our mark in bright strokes of paint.
But not all artistic cycling endeavors require actual paint. Sometimes, wheels alone are enough. A few days ago, I joined a group of women for a ride that turned our city’s streets into a canvas for Strava art. Together, we carefully mapped our route, and with every turn of the pedals, we sketched letters onto the digital map—spelling out one simple, joyful word: Taco.
Riding a bike i smore than connecting place, it provides the opportunity to connect with people.
