Want to hear the story of how Trips for Kids Marin started from the founder, Marilyn Price, herself?
Listen in to 'The Pedal Pod' a new podcast series from our National Chapter, Trips for Kids. Fun anecdotes include Marilyn and a bunch of now-famous early mountain bike adopters hopping in a van in the early 80's and driving out to Crested Butte. #tripsforkidsmarin #tripsforkids #morekidsonbikes #PedalPod

Our favorite take away: "The development of trust starts on day 1, WAAAY before its ever tested. It’s about being consistent and doing what you are saying what you are going to do." #tripsforkids #twowheelview #trust #resilience A great film by REI, Pedal Through, tells a universal story of stepping into your growth zone and learning how to pedal through being uncomfortable just like our youth do when they come on our Trail Rides! "Analise had never camped or ridden a bike off the pavement when she decided to plan a week-long mountain biking adventure with an all Black female team: her best friend and fellow newcomer to the sport, DeJuanae Toliver, and professional mountain biker Brooklyn Bell. Together, they traverse the Oregon backcountry on an adventure full of exploration, curiosity, waterfalls, old growth forest, sparkling starscapes, and deep healing." #morekidsonbikes #diversifytheoutdoors #optoutside #trailride #mtb #REI Have you ever heard of the great “Suspend the Rider vs. Suspend the Bike” debate?

Check out Bicycling Magazine's profile of Monica Garrison, a Writer, Photographer, and Founder of Black Girls Do Bike.
"When I ride my bike it feels as if I am doing my part to carve a path for other people of color in cycling. Being a black cyclist hopefully means that small actions on my part help break down the belief that people of color don’t ride bikes." https://buff.ly/32pzLLj #diversitymatters #diversifycycling #diversifytheoutdoors #blackgirlsdobike In case you missed it: Construction of a two-way protected bikeway linking to the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge is expected to be complete by July 31!

We are more than our struggle, we aren’t just fighting to stop being murdered, we are fighting for the right and the ability to live full lives. We want to ride bikes, climb mountains, traverse slot canyons, and surf waves. Black folks deserve to enjoy the outdoors in every way."
