Singapore City Ride
DAILY RIDES goes to Singapore! But beyond the scenes of riding bicycles and the many different ways that cycling can be experienced, there is a much better and more important story about the community behind this series. The Bike Scouts is a cycling-focused community where everyone is welcome, whether you ride or own a bicycle is never the point. The Bike Scouts community works as a network of support where everyone can participate in making a real difference in the world. The part where we ride bicycles is just a bonus that helps us experience the world better using the most resilient form of mobility. This is a story that is as much about riding bicycles in Singapore as it is about the impact that each and every single Bike Scout has made over the past nine years of the community's existence. The trip to Singapore was not even meant to be a cycling story. I was there at the invitation of Meta and its Facebook platform for an exclusive event for the world's biggest social platform's global partner communities - which now includes Bike Scouts. This video is the simplest way I know to share the experience of being a small start-up community and social platform for doing good invited to share our story in front of an international audience of partners and fellow founders inside the offices of the world's biggest social platform. It was a truly amazing experience, to say the least. And for which, I am forever grateful to everyone in the Bike Scouts community whose courage to do the difficult, inconvenient, and impossible things to make a difference in their own communities is what's making it possible for the Bike Scouts to grow and make an impact beyond my wildest imagination.
