Cycling for Change, Safety, and Sustainability
Our Journey
Pedal SATX was born from a profound dedication to creating safer streets for all individuals in San Antonio. Witnessing the tragic and avoidable injuries and fatalities of cyclists and pedestrians, I recognized the urgent need for increased advocacy and action within our community. As an avid cyclist myself, I saw too many individuals like me placed in jeopardy due to the lack of accountability for reckless driving behaviors.
Driven by the conviction that we needed stronger voices and proactive initiatives to drive change, I established Pedal SATX with a singular mission: to ensure the safety of all road users and to demand accountability from motorists. As a cyclist who values the importance of returning home safely to my loved ones, this mission is deeply personal to me.
Pedal SATX is dedicated to tirelessly advocating for safer infrastructure, educating the public on road safety, and empowering the community to advocate for the rights and well-being of all individuals. With a background as a Bike & Active Transportation Advocate, Leader of the Black Girls Do Bike: San Antonio Chapter, experienced rider in organized events such as Trek 100, MS 150, Wildflower San Antonio, M2M, Conquer the Coast, and more, as well as active participation in local government cycling safety meetings and improvement initiatives, I bring a wealth of experience and passion to the cause.
Having served on the Far East Planning Committee, held positions as VP with Bike San Antonio, board member with Activate SA, and being part of the San Antonio Cycling Initiative Group, along with multiple ambassadorships and sponsorships, I am deeply committed to championing safer streets and a more bike-friendly community for all.
