** While Bike Edmonton uses cycling to advance its vision, Bike Edmonton’s Mission is to make “...everyday cycling in Edmonton safer and more widespread by providing bicycle services, education, and civic representation…” and as part of this purpose, we extend services to marginalized members of the community as well as new-comers. Pursuant to this purpose, we try to stand with and support those facing struggle. The Board looks around its own table and sees the privileges of the board members; we all have the ability to volunteer for this organization and we acknowledge at a bare minimum that this means that we are not wholly consumed with the search for the necessities of life. As a result of our privileged station we find it difficult at times to understand the struggle of those facing issues such as homelessness, substance addiction, poverty, and others. As we humbly acknowledge this privilege we believe that "punching down" is in poor taste and unbefitting of a board member of Bike Edmonton.
