Poems from the Event
Poems by youths who participated at the Major Taylor Cycling Club event:

Bikes are fun
To ride in the sun
It can be even funner
In the rain puddles.
-Rawena

Bikes are good to ride
& it gives me such a good vibe
give me one please &
you might see me outside.
- Quinton Temon Gipson

Bikes are tight
& when I'm down
they make me
feel alright
if you give me one it
will give me something
more positive to do than fight.
