Real Rider Experience

“I’ve only had my bike from South Central Power Up! for three days, and today I really got to see the impact this organization makes. After completing their training, they loaned me an e-bike at no cost to me—something that already felt like a huge blessing. But today showed me just how life-changing that bike truly is. It was my first day of work, and I was running late. As I reached Slauson, my bus was already closing its doors. The driver signaled that she couldn’t wait, and for a moment I thought my whole morning was done for. Then I remembered the bike RIDEWITUS LA provided me. I took off through the neighborhood—safe, fast, and focused—cutting down Alviso and 60th, moving through the alleys, and actually managed to pass the bus and beat it to the stop at Slauson & Crenshaw. I had time to load my bike onto the rack and still made it to work right on time. In just three days, this bike has already given me mobility, confidence, and the freedom to take control of my day. That’s what real mobility justice looks like. Huge gratitude and a big thumbs up to RIDEWITUS LA and People for Mobility Justice. 🚲✨”
