Ready… Set… Trikes are Back!

We are thrilled to announce the relaunch of the three-wheeled trike rides for kūpuna. Now named “HBL’s Golden Gears” triking program, we provide seniors the ability to be active, have fun, explore outside, and socialize while getting some healthy exercise by reserving a recumbent tricycle to ride along the Pearl Harbor Bike Path. These Ride Instructor-led cruises give the opportunity for those in their golden years to experience the joys of cycling in a safe & car-free environment, and enjoy the ride from a laid back (& comfortable!) perspective.

Save the Date: Pau Hana

Get your calendar ready everyone, we have 2 events coming up for you to add!
➜Next month, on December 14th (Wednesday), we’ll be hosting a Pau Hana at Hana Koa from 6:00-9:00 PM. Stop by to talk story with us over some good beer and food! We’ll have a bike rack setup inside the brewery (yes, inside!) if you plan to bike over.

Action Alert: Comfortable Streets For All

Traffic noise creates an unpleasant street environment for those not enclosed in a vehicle. Studies show it also increases depression, anxiety, poor work performance, and diseases. The more comfortable the street environment, the more likely people will walk and bike to get around, benefiting you and your community! Send a message to your representatives to help make our streets comfortable for everyone. HBL.org/comfortable-streets-campaign
