The Collective

We need to belong. We seem to have a deep need to be a part of units and communities and to be accepted and approved of. I’m sure there’s some really smart psychology to it that we could cite.

When you are active in community service, it gets noticed over time.  It positions you different from others. You are seen as someone who is involved in the community , participating and driving change and living the healthy lifestyle that cycling offers. People prefer to do business with community leaders because they trust them and they believe that they will stand behind their work.

People are hard-wired to want to help other people when they’re asked.

Hi, I’m Misha Chiporukha

I founded CNI, a few years ago..

My love of cycling, and the ability to easily connect created an Avenue on the bike for a healthier life, business opportunities, and also a social circle that was not only diverse, but as a collective willing to ride that extra mile for you, and for today’s important causes..

It is here that friendships are made.

More than 1.5 million New Yorkers will face hunger this year, including more than one in 3 children. 

I have been a New Yorker for more than 40 years, and I have seen this city transform . I was able to see the changes with my eyes wide open. I have witnessed the city get smaller and larger;  torn down and built up;  more connected, and disconnected.  I have made this city my home and want to be part of making a difference.

I believe that the impact against hunger and food insecurity is greater when we all join together, 

Mission
