Bike Buddy – HBL’s Commuter Mentor Program

During the pandemic, many are returning to their bicycles to get out of the house – and remembering how wonderful and freeing riding a bike is. We want to give people the resources, encouragement, and any assistance they might need to keep them pedaling post-pandemic times. Searching for someone to show you the ropes to keep you safe and having fun while biking around? Looking for help for you or a friend to find a safe and comfortable riding route that suits your cycling experience?
