Our story

Our story is just getting started

Since August 2024, we’ve used community rides to bring health, safety and confidence to people who need it most, first in Lagos and now in Abuja.

  1. Our first community rides

    Bright Smile starts using cycling to reach vulnerable groups in Lagos.

  2. International Women’s Day Ride

    Women from the community ride together for health and visibility.

  3. Children’s Day Ride with Parents

    With UrbanBetter Lagos Hub: children, parents, schools and neighbours on one route.

  4. On the African stage in Kigali

    We join the regional forum on inclusive and active mobility as PAAPAM launches its action plan.

  5. World Bicycle Day with the FRSC

    The Federal Road Safety Corps rides with us in Lagos to promote road safety.

  6. Abuja, and a global partnership

    Rides reach Kpaduma 1, Asokoro Extension, and we join SLOCAT.
