Read more about this month’s ride in our latest newsletter.

We’ll traverse from the Scott Joplin House National Landmark, to the Griot Museum, and Damon Davis’ Pillars of the Valley, to IL’s Native Mounds and Miles’ Davis’ Home in streets of East St. Louis and back to end at For The Culture STL’s annual 12-6pm summer cookout!

The ride will start with 5mile and 12mile loops for those who can’t join the full route into and back from IL. This will be our last BTBE-Only 2nd Sunday intentional group/training ride before the September Bikecamping Overnight Trips.

This effort equips build community among Black Women, + Black Trans and Black Queer people in real time by helping folks:
1) embody presence and freedom thru biking, and
2) challenge themselves in community, and beyond isolation.

RSVP here to join us

To support local Black economies and facilitate deeper connection with our team of riders/crew and local Black Trans & Queer folks, we are hosting a few small gatherings in communion with our rides. If you want to meet + see Black Queer, Trans and Black women folks win, you are warmly invited to join us in the space. 

Your attendance, presence, and the networking at these meals (!) will offer space to drop in and fuel folks on their journeys this summer after a tough Winter/Spring of anti-trans and bodily autonomy legislative nonsense.
