Celebrating Diversity on Two Wheels: How Black Girls Do Bike is Changing the Face of Cycling

Cycling is a fantastic sport that offers a multitude of benefits, from physical and mental well-being to environmental consciousness. However, the cycling world hasn't always been the most welcoming space for everyone. Thankfully, organizations like Black Girls Do Bike (BGDB) are working tirelessly to change that.

BGDB is a community organization dedicated to empowering Black women and girls through cycling. Founded in 2010, they've become a national force for diversity and inclusion in cycling, shattering stereotypes and inspiring a new generation of cyclists.

Breaking Barriers, Building Confidence

One of the biggest challenges BGDB tackles is the lack of representation in cycling. For many Black women and girls, cycling can seem like an unfamiliar or even intimidating activity. BGDB creates a safe and supportive space where Black women can learn to ride, develop their skills, and connect with a like-minded community. Through their rides, workshops, and mentorship programs, BGDB fosters a sense of belonging and shatters the misconception that cycling is just for a certain type of person.

Advocacy in Action

BGDB's impact goes beyond their rides and programs. They are vocal advocates for creating a more inclusive cycling culture. They push for better infrastructure, educational opportunities, and representation in cycling media. Their tireless advocacy work is helping to reshape cycling into a sport that celebrates diversity and welcomes everyone with open arms.

The Power of Two Wheels

BGDB's mission extends far beyond cycling. They use cycling as a tool to empower Black women and girls, fostering confidence, self-reliance, and leadership skills. BGDB shows that cycling is more than just a sport; it's a powerful tool for social change.
