Anthony is an accidental advocate. He has never stopped biking since receiving a Schwinn Apple Crate for his Birthday in 1971. In 1998 a group of African American women that wanted to complete the AIDS ride from Mpls to Chicago approached him for help and the seeds of Major Taylor Bicycling Club of Mn were born. MTBCMn was founded in 1999 with the commitment to increase the participation of the African American community in cycling for sport, transportation, and health improvement. Anthony is a member of the League of American Bicyclists Equity Advisory Council, an LCI, Co-founder of the Major Taylor Bicycling Club of Mn,, Co-founder and VP of the National Brotherhood of Cyclists, and the founder of Slow Roll Twin Cities. Anthony actively engages in partnerships that use active transportation as a tool to build community, increase personal power, community safety, and improve the wellbeing of our communities with a special commitment in historically oppressed communities. His greatest joy is losing bike races to his 15-year-old son and his 10-year-old daughter's frustration that she can’t ride to school by herself, even though she knows the way. Anthony currently serves as a member of the AARP Executive Council for AARP MN and was appointed by Gov. Walz to the Governor's Council on Age-Friendly Minnesota and as a Commissioner on the Metropolitan Council Open Space Commission, responsible for funding and policy in the Regional Park Systems.
