Reyna found cycling as a way to destress, enjoy nature, and spend time with a close friend — and it quickly became much more. What keeps her pedaling today is the community she’s discovered and the physical and mental benefits that come with getting outside and moving her body.
Cycling has taught Reyna to slow down and savor the journey. She loves that the Iowa City area offers trails in every direction — many of them paved — making it easy for anyone to get out and ride.
Reyna brings a welcoming, people-first approach to biking. She loves striking up conversations with fellow riders and is the first to invite someone on a ride around the city. Knowing that joining a cyclist can feel intimidating — from worrying about pace to skill level — she proudly opens the door for riders of all backgrounds and abilities.
As an ambassador, Reyna hopes to help others find the same sense of belonging, joy, and community that biking has brought into her life.
