Doc Wilson directs Peace Peloton, which, rain or shine, sets out to support Seattle Black-owned businesses.Â
Cyclist Reginald âDocâ Wilson arrived early at Alki Beach on June 6, 2020, followed by his partner, her children, and Bike Worksâ baby-blue mobile repair shop. He expected around 30 cyclists to join Peace Pelotonâs first Fresh Air Bike to Black Businesses event. But attendees just kept coming: families, young people, older folks, the abled and disabled. Ultimately, about 400 riders set off together toward the Northwest African American Museum. Wilson remembers a buzz in the air as they rode. âI was not the only one in wonder.â
