Did you know Healthy Ride expanded not only bike stations throughout the city–we expanded our team! Community Ambassadors in Homewood, Larimer and the Hill District took their neighbors for a ride and educated them about bike safety. They organized group rides, helped people gain confidence on city streets and raised awareness about the benefits of biking.
