Biking to Bakeries in Hartford Tour 2019

25 riders joined our “Biking to Bakeries” in Hartford tour today and gained 0 calories (according to dubious calculations).

Joe Dickerson at BiCiCo.org and I designed this friendly 10-12 mph “slow roll” ride to help people learn how to bike around Hartford, and to build a stronger sense of community. Co-sponsored by the Center for Hartford Engagement and Research (CHER) at Trinity College and BiCiCo.org, Hartford’s community bike shop, a project of the Center for Latino Progress.
