My name is Conner, and I’m raising funds to replace my Co-op 1.1 bike from REI, which was recently stolen from my neighborhood in Highland Town, Baltimore. This bike was my only source of transportation, and I relied on it every day to get to work and back—a two-mile commute each way. I also bike for a living, covering at least 30 miles a week, so having a reliable bike is essential for my job and daily routine.

Losing my bike has made things much harder. What used to be a quick 15-minute ride to work now takes me 40 minutes, and it’s been a real challenge adjusting to this change. That bike meant a lot to me, not just for getting around but also for the memories I made riding through my community.

Getting a replacement is urgent, especially with winter approaching. I need to get back to work efficiently and safely before the cold weather sets in. Any support will help me restore my independence and keep up with my responsibilities. Thank you for considering a donation to help me get back on the road.
