Think Outside Da Block Hosts Community Bike Rides in Englewood

Youth from Think Outside Da Block programs pose before embarking on a cycling journey for the organization’s “Bike Outside da Block” event.

Think Outside Da Block (TODB) recently hosted three back-to-back community bike rides, each focusing on a different aspect of community and career building. From September 10 to September 12, cyclists chose between the Civic Arts, Civic Engagement, and Culinary/Entrepreneurship bike rides, or a combination of the three. Serving the young people of Englewood, TODB is known for incorporating cycling into their regular programming, as they continue to raise awareness about gun violence.

TODB is a member of Communities Partnering 4 Peace (CP4P), a coalition of CVI groups convened by Metropolitan Peace Initiatives (MPI).
