Chelsea, good morning and thank you for joining us. Thanks for having me. So what inspired you to begin bikes oro . Yeah. So it was actually over seven years ago i was living in a Refugee Community on the outskirts of uganda, and i was working on a project at the time, but what i saw was just how powerful bikes could be to change poeoples access to opportunities whether it was kids or entrepreneurs. I just wanted to see a way to sustainably link getting more bikes to people in need, and i thought by selling a bike that had a social mission directly attached to it, we could accomplish that. So these bikes, how does it work, exactly . If someone is interested in buying a bike, orc ros bike. What good does that do for pem around the world . Yeah. If someone buys one of our bikes we help fund a nonprofit that helps get the bikes to people. For each bike were donating 15 of the revenue to the cause. Thats awesome. So you probably know, philadelphia is becoming a more bikefriendly city and bike lanes are popping up on our streets and cities and how will bike oro connect with people in felly and whats your effort like to get more people riding . I live in the greater philadelphia area and i live in cape may so our headquarters are close, so coupled with that, we have four of our ambassadors who are living here in the philadelphia area and those are people who help us tell the story, who are going to have access to bikes at all times, who are going to give people the opportunity to ride them because for the most part were selling online direct to consumer. These people will have the bikes in their hands and theyll be able to connect with people and invite people out to events and parties that kind of help us promote our story and also just get people riding. And this is a great time to be promoting your cause, right . Because were getting into the spring and summer months where its easier to bike outside. Absolutely. Today is not a great day here in philly for riding, but the people who have the right gear can get out there and as we move into the summer youll see more and more people out riding. All right.
