East Side Riders Bike Club Presents Book Written by Watts Students

Last month, the grassroots organization released Bikes Need Love Too, a collection of short essays written by six young authors from the South Los Angeles community.

The book was published under the guidance of John Jones III, founder of East Side Riders Bike Club (ESRBC). Penned by young ESRBC members — who participated in a seven-week writing workshop facilitated by Publishing Hope and Branding A+ Behavior — the essays cover a range of personal topics, including the importance of family, friendship, and loyalty, and they tackle difficult subjects such as abandonment and loneliness. GRoW founder Gregory Annenberg Weingarten, a key supporter of ESRBC, wrote a foreword for Bikes Need Love Too, which can be purchased here.
