Justin Koga, the cyclistI'm a member of the Duke Cycling Team. This has been an incredible opportunity to interact with my Duke cycling peers and also interact with my local community. Riding in Durham and the surrounding areas has given me a great feel for the surrounding areas from an urban planning perspective as well as a policy perspective.

Cycling Through COVIDThe Duke Cycling Team hosted a 12-hour cycling marathon fundraiser for bike-related organizations in Durham, NC. These organizations host a variety of different community events to educate people about bike maintenance and road safety.
During COVID, I've seen a renaissance in cycling. More and more people are looking to cycling as a means to de-stress, get a breath of fresh air, and to hang out with friends and family. As a result, bike safety is more important than ever. As a team, we were able to raise >$3k for our local organizations. I'm very proud of this achievement. |
