    S2:Ep9: Meet Khalil - Taking a Chance

    When Khalil was in college, his transportation options were limited as he let his younger siblings use his truck during the week to get to and from work during the week. So when Andy stopped by his class to talk about the program, Khalil denied to take the chance at scooting to give him the mobility he desired. The chance he took paid off. Not only has his scooter has become his primary form of transportation, but he has also become an integral, front-facing part of the MyCityRides team.

    S2:Ep8: Meet Damon - Making It Happen

    Damon is all too familiar with the struggles the come with not having reliable transportation. He had to get around every way imaginable from having cars that broke down on him to paying for expensive Uber and Lyft rides to ultimately getting around on a skateboard, but through it all, he was determined to get to work or wherever he needed to go. So when he met the MyCityRides team at the Cooper Young Festival and learned about the program, he knew that it was an opportunity that he had to take advantage of.

    S2:Ep5: Meet James - The Flyer Godfather

    After having a car for 15 plus years and thousands of miles, regular wear and tear begins to add up along with the expenses that go with it. For James, after seeing a MyCityRides billboard and attending Scooter School, the choice was clear - the #twowheellife was for him. A month after getting his scooter, his car, that he had for 15+ years became idle - so idle that the last time he tried to crank it up, the car’s battery was dead from inactivity.
