M+M

ONWARD. Hello gang, and Happy Monday. Today, we’re here to share an update on the future of M+M and our weekly Monday group ride. We’ll start by saying thank you for your patience over the last few weeks. We’ve been thinking hard about the trajectory of M+M and what’s next. Over the last 4 years, we’ve had the joy of watching the ride grow and evolve from a few homies to a few hundred people riding weekly. It’s been an incredible journey to meet and ride with so many of y’all. After processing all the feedback we received, we feel the ride has reached a point where it is no longer truly manageable or safe. We’ve considered many different options, but have ultimately decided to stop hosting a weekly ride. It’s been a very difficult decision to make, but we feel confident it’s the best route forward. The good news is M+M will live on. We love the cycling community here in Atlanta and want to continue creating a space for people to connect and ride bikes. Our focus will shift from a weekly group ride to hosting larger quarterly cycling events and unique micro group rides. We’re already working on our first get-together for this Fall and hope to see you there. We’re honored to have had the opportunity to lead so many people around the city. Mondays will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you to everyone who came out and supported the ride over the years. We are grateful for y’all and hope you’ll stick with us through this evolution. Much love, Austin & Colton

Happy Monday y'all. We wanted to share some updates on M+M. This post is very important, so please read it if you come to the ride. Firstly, today's ride has been cancelled. After last week's accident, we need time to map some things out. For those unaware, an accident occurred last Monday that caused a rider to leave in an ambulance with severe injuries. This isn't the first time a crash has occurred that resulted in an emergency room visit either. Every time we ride, we're all accepting the inherent risks of riding bicycles together in a big group. But we can't brush these incidents off. We have to take a good look at what's going on and think critically about how to mitigate these outcomes. Safety is the number one priority every single time we roll out. M+M will not continue if safety is not clearly prioritized by every single person in the group, every week. We're working as quickly as we can to put together a thorough document that shares clear rules and guidelines you are agreeing to by attending the ride. We're often asked how we started M+M. While we've poured tons of time and love into this ride, we like to think that the community is what truly started M+M. The ride has gone from a couple homies to a 400+ person community event. Every week, hundreds of people come together to start their week with a bicycle ride. M+M would not exist without all the amazing people that come out every single Monday to make it happen. We need your help. M+M has expanded well beyond what we can manage alone. We need everyone at the ride to have agency and know they're an important part of what keeps M+M rolling onward. We commit to doing our very best every ride to keep the group safe, and we need everyone that comes to the ride to join us in that responsibility. Let's work together to keep each other safe and rolling together for years to come. We'll plan to be back out there as soon as possible. In the meantime, please consider sharing and donating to Sabrina's GoFundMe using the link in our bio. After a full assessment of injuries, we've decided to leave the fund open for an additional week. Thank you again to those that donated and shared. 📷:@nickdandria
