We love it when a bike plan comes together. 🚲💥

Yesterday, IYC donated bikes and gear to AMY at James Martin in Port Richmond to help grow their school bike program.

Huge shoutout to Coach + Teacher Tim Dickson — Guy's Racing Club member, longtime Philly bike rider, and the energy behind the school’s successful bike program.

This is the Philly bike network doing what it does best:

IYC + Guy’s Racing Club + AMY James Martin School = more kids on bikes.
