You get cookies, too. I anticipated this reaction and am trying to get a Stitch cookie cutter 😁

There are so many amazing advocates out there who feel the same way and it makes the part of me that felt like nobody would ever understand me or get me feel like I hid the best parts of me away for far too long!

You get cookies, too, Jen!

Oh damn. No cookies for Jillian? Jillian, I’ll send cookies in the mail.

The patriarchy always finds a way to go fast without pedalling.

I haven’t found an answer to this question. I wanted to surprise you.

Ooh which bike is this one, Jillian?

Omg, Jen ❤️ This is magical!

I hear what you’re saying. If you look at this through a health equity and climate equity lens, e-bikes that do more than assist still have the potential to improve and/or maintain mobility and positively impact a person’s health and well-being and quality of life. How cool is that?

Love this!

Aww I love how you’re looking out for your wife and planning for future adventures! Dogs are the best and I’m so very sorry for your loss. My fur baby is 13 and I don’t know how I will ever be okay again… E-bike stories like yours are exactly why we need to pursue policy change! It’s time!

Yes! That makes a lot of sense. When you know that you don’t have to worry about hills, distance or running out of steam, you gain confidence and bike rides get longer and more enjoyable!

I am so grateful that you shared a part of your journey with me! What inspired you to try an e-bike? Are there people in your life who encouraged you to explore e-bikes as an option? Also—Congratulations! This is so inspiring!

Thank you for sharing this with me! I love that getting an e-bike made you feel more confident on any bike. Why do you think that is?
