A Thousand Words, Volume 9


This season of giving, I wanted to celebrate Thousand's impact over the years – because giving back has always been built into our DNA. Since we started our Thousand Gives program in 2017, we've donated over $500k in financial contributions and in-kind product donations to non-profit organizations like East Side Riders Bike Club, Healthy Active Streets, CicLAvia, The Common Wheel, and more. We believe that in order to empower people to choose to ride, we have to support the activists and organizations on the ground working to achieve mobility justice, transportation access, and bike-friendly urbanism in our communities. Thank you for your ongoing support of Thousand and our mission. We're so grateful for our community – without you, we wouldn't be able to support people and organizations fighting for mobility justice, equity, and inclusion.
