activist United States

Kiel Johnson is a bike advocate from Portland, Oregon, known for initiating the 'bike train' movement in 2010, which encouraged groups of children to cycle together to school. He successfully organized these bike trains at multiple schools, leveraging community engagement and local grants to expand the initiative. Despite the challenges of limited social media influence at the time, Johnson's grassroots efforts inspired a sense of camaraderie among young riders and laid the groundwork for future cycling movements, including the more recent 'bike bus' phenomenon led by Sam Balto.
