✨Thank you to everyone who joined us at the GO Fest Campfire Stage: GO by Bike on Saturday! ⛺

We had a great conversation about what it looks like to use a bike for everyday transportation in Roanoke and beyond—from biking to school, riding with kids, commuting, bikepacking, and living car-free. Panelists shared personal stories, practical tips, and ideas for making our community safer and more welcoming for people of all ages who bike.

🙌 A special THANK YOU to panelists Joana Garland, Maggie Tulou, Kelsey Harrington, Molly Maxwell, and David Hoopes for sharing their experiences and enthusiasm; to co-moderator Rob Issem, GO Fest organizers, and every attendee who joined the conversation!

Together, we’re building a more bike-friendly Roanoke! 🚲
