AFAHO was selected as an Indego Community Ambassador for 2026! We recently hosted a bike education class in partnership with Indego and the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia, with 14 attendees. Thank you to Lor Song for leading the class, which focused on street safety, communicating with drivers, how to use Indego electric bikes, and navigating Philadelphia streets.

It was a highly interactive and engaging workshop with hands-on opportunities for the community to practice their bike riding skills!
