Carlos Landeros-Angel speaks with MB Hanrahan about the nonprofit, Bike 4 A Cause.
The organization’s mission is to address major societal issues, including screen addiction, mental wellness, and premature death causes like stroke, heart disease, and suicide, by promoting bicycling as a solution.
Key aspects of the conversation include:
Indigenous Ideals: The program is an extension of indigenous community healing ideals that emphasize gathering and movement, drawing inspiration from traditions like powwows and long-distance running. They combine these concepts with the accessibility of bicycles.
Target Community: While open to all, the organization focuses on at-risk teens, families in recovery, the 55+ community, and individuals with mobility or intellectual disabilities. The founder mentions successfully teaching teenagers with autism how to ride a bike for the first time.
Accessibility: A goal is to acquire and lend out expensive hand cycles to make biking accessible to people who use wheelchairs.
Values: The organization operates with a policy of radical transparency regarding its budget and staff pay, aiming to set an example for other non-profits and institutions.
