What can 2,700 miles on a bike teach you about hea What can 2,700 miles on a bike teach you about health? Quite a lot. This past summer, @massgeneralbrigham postdoctoral research fellow George Usmanov, PhD, completed the Tour Divide, a self-supported mountain bike race from Canada to the U.S.-Mexico border, averaging more than 100 miles a day for 25½ days. But the journey became about much more than endurance. Conversations with people along the route gave Usmanov a firsthand look at how geography, internet access and everyday life can shape access to health information and care. The experience reinforced an important lesson for his research. Health resources only work when they fit the realities of the people they’re designed to serve. 🚲 Read more about George’s 2,700-mile journey and the lessons he brought back to his research at the link in our bio.
