The Joy of Cycling
Student advocate pushes for
“Bike-Friendly University” status
When Bernard Green found his father’s old road bike in the
back of the garage, his life changed.
“It was like flying,” he said. “I loved feeling the wind
rush by.”
His dad made him a deal – keep up biking, and he’d buy
Bernard his own road bike. The deal stuck and before long
Bernard was cycling competitively at the LA Velodrome.
After a year of track racing, Bernard felt the competition
was taking away from the joy of riding. So he changed gears,
became a bicycling advocate, and focused on sharing that joy
with others.
