#BIKESMAKEUSHAPPY: A COLLECTION OF SNAPS AND STORIES

Posted by Mike Vanderscheuren · March 21, 2020

We sent out a little email blast and we asked that people send us a photo of themselves doing something with their bike that made them happy. We're going to post the collection of photos and stories in a continuous-running blog post here and some of the individual photos in our social channels like Instagram and Twitter curated with the hashtag #bikesmakeushappy.

For us, the photos are a reminder to seek out joy when we can, even under the toughest of circumstances and also something to keep us optimistic for the future and better days ahead.
