Outride

The Bicycle Coalition has been an Outride Community Impact Grant partner since 2023, and are building a movement powered by young riders and community pride. Through their youth program, 250 Philly teens are finding confidence and connection on bikes, and The Hunting Park Hustle is where that momentum comes alive! 🚲👏

Each year, the event grows from a race into a full festival, helping activate the park and sparking real change. From fresh pavement to new events and more families showing up, the Hustle proves what’s possible when a community moves together. 🤝💪

Let’s celebrate Bicycle Coalition of Gtr Phila today and share the impact they are making in their community! 🎉

What if you had all the information about the ways cycling programs impact brain health and well-being at your fingertips? Well, now you do! ✨🔍

Outride is excited to share our latest peer-reviewed publication, A Scoping Review of Bicycling Interventions’ Impact on Psychological, Social, Emotional, and Cognitive Well-Being. This work is the result of a collaboration with researchers at the University of Oklahoma (Brandie Reisman, Dr. Cian Brown, now at the University of Arkansas) and Loma Linda University (Dr. Seth Wiafe and Dr. Sean Wilson). 🚲🧠

Join Lauren on a behind the scenes look at what it took and explore more benefits of cycling on brain health and wellbeing! 🤝👀

Have you ever thought about what your brain is doing while you’re on the bike? We don’t often consider the incredible work happening behind the scenes, but your brain is constantly adapting, processing, and powering every pedal stroke.  🚲✨🔍

Our latest blog, How Biking Rewires & Rejuvenates Your Brain, breaks down the neuroscience of riding and explores how movement supports long-term brain health. A few standout benefits of biking include: 

• Strengthening and preserving key neural pathways 🧬
  
• Releasing neurotransmitters that boost mood and motivation 😁

• Increased focus and attention, supported by changes in brain activity 📈

• Supporting the brain’s natural cleanup processes 🫶
