Why We Ride
Historically, BIPOC have been left out of the decision-making processes when it comes to creating a more walkable and bikable neighborhood, yet the fastest growth in bicycling is among the Latinx, Black and Asian American populations.
“We intend to get as many BIPOC folks as possible on bikes.”
equitable access
In the PSRAI study, two-thirds of all Americans agreed with the statement: “My community would be a better place to live if bicycling were safer and more comfortable.” More than 30% of people of color said they “strongly agree” with that statement.
