Full Cycle Supporting Andano en Bicicletas y Caminando

Since 2015, Nossa Familia has been proud to donate 50-cents of every bag of Full Cycle coffee purchased to nonprofits working to make the world a better place through bicycles. This August, we are dedicating our Full Cycle giveback to support the work of Portland-based Andano en Bicicletas y Caminando (ABC) in partnership with longtime Full Cycle recipient, Community Cycling Center.

ABOUT ABC

ABC was founded over a decade ago by Latinx members of Portland Cully neighborhood. Their mission is to unite community through activities and events promoting the benefits of cycling. The organization also works to promote and advocate for pedestrian and cycling safety and infrastructure.

UNITING COMMUNITY THROUGH CYCLING
ABC members, supported by Community Cycling Center, have organized rides, conducted a bike census in their neighborhood, instructed local school children in bike safety, assisted with multiple bike drives hosted by the Cycling Center in Cully, and provided testimony at City Hall to reform tenant bicycle parking policies.

“ABC has given me opportunities to be a part of a community and feel a part of something larger than myself. ABC motivated me to ride my bike when I first arrived in Portland. I hadn’t ridden a bike for over 10 years!” – ABC Member Teresa Raigoza


Reflecting on how participating in ABC led activities has made a difference in her own life when she was new to Portland and navigating cultural and linguistic barriers, member Teresa Raigoza shared that “ABC has given me opportunities to be a part of a community and feel a part of something larger than myself. ABC motivated me to ride my bike when I first arrived in Portland. I hadn’t ridden a bike for over 10 years!”

Now Teresa and ABC members are raising funds to grow their program beyond the Cully neighborhood to serve the Latiné community citywide.
