2021 Update
Our bikes were locked away during the 2020 COVID summer.
Cyclopedia became “Walk-o-pedia” to deliver three weeks of exclusively outdoor peer-led programming for our youth. (And the rest of the families joined too!)
Jefferson Park was home base, from which we activated the neighborhood as a learning space, thanks to community partners.
Air quality, water quality and climate change were our themes as we explored and documented East Harlem, with a vision of where we are and how we can design a healthier future.
Masking and physical distancing were emphasized in addition to the protection of being outdoors and lower risk of transmission among children.
