Black Girls Do Bike Pittsburgh is a community organization focused on empowering and encouraging women of color to take up cycling. The organization is a chapter of the national movement, Black Girls Do Bike, which was founded with the goal of creating a supportive and inclusive environment for women of color to learn about, participate in, and enjoy cycling. The Pittsburgh chapter hosts regular group rides, workshops, and events to provide opportunities for members to connect with one another. Through their efforts, Black Girls Do Bike Pittsburgh is helping to promote healthy lifestyles, encourage community building, and inspire a love of cycling among women of color in the Pittsburgh area.
Safe spaces for people of color are important. Non-competitive spaces for lady cyclists are important. Diving into cycling with a support system is important. Being connected to a larger nationwide network of lady riders is important. By providing a supportive community and a platform for growth and development, Black Girls Do Bike Pittsburgh is making a positive impact on the lives of its members and the broader cycling community.
