Review for World Bicycle Relief NFP, Chicago, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I absolutely LOVE the idea of bicycles improving peoples’ lives. Clearly, cycling makes my life better, but it’s for fitness, recreation, and reducing anxiety; for the people who benefit from WBR, their bikes help them meet true NEEDS—healthcare, education, employment, etc. In the big picture, as important as my bike is to me, their bikes are WAY more important. I want to help people sustain themselves by having access to their needs.
In 2015, I completed the Leadville Trail 100 mile mountain bike race as part of Team WBR. During those 9 hours of mountain biking, I thought a lot about how bikes can make a difference. Team WBR is so supportive and so committed to their cause that I knew I needed to be part of the group on a more permanent basis; now I host regular fund raisers in my home town of Boise, ID, and I love teaching people about the power of bicycles.
