90 PEOPLE BICYCLED TO HAVE BREAKFAST WITH US!

"I enjoy interacting with people I pass on the street on my way to my destination."

"It is more relaxing than commuting by car and allows me to fit some physical activity in my schedule."

" I love going fast and slow; faster than walking and slow enough to really experience Memphis. "

"I bike to work almost every day and I love it! I am not polluting the air, I am getting exercise and it just makes me feel free! Also: no traffic or parking stress! And finally, I believe it is the best form of therapy ever! My mental health is greatly improved because I ride my bike in addition to all the other great things!"

"It's a great way to save money, improve my health, reduce my impact on climate change, and see more of Memphis that I would otherwise miss if I were driving alone."
