Brooklyn's Kimberly White is just finishing her freshman year of college, and she took some time away from studying for exams and writing papers to star in the second installment of Streetfilms' "My NYC Biking Story" series. Kimberly loves riding her red folding bike in Prospect Park, and she's also got the skills to fix it. She helped start an internship program at Recycle-A-Bicycle and has used that experience to encourage others to get in the saddle. The keynote speaker at the first annual Youth Bike Summit, Kimberly is now pursuing a career in environmental justice.
