The 2021 SJ Brooks Scholarships seeks to increase access, reduce barriers, and center voices specifically for BIPOC cyclists who are trans, woman, non-binary, intersex, two-spirit, and/or genderqueer. The application will close at 9 pm (PST) on September 30, 2021.

Applicants must be BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, person of color) and TWIG (Trans, Women, Intersex, & Genderqueer). All applicants who are not BIPOC should spread the word to BIPOC cyclists in their community circles.

Apply today at the Radical Adventure Riders.

Our friends at Radical Adventure Riders have just stocked their webshop with a whole slew of products, including many illustrated by Mary Lytle such as this new bandana, featuring cycling dreamscapes and more. Head on over to their webshop to see the full drop.

The Radical Adventure Riders has launched their SJ Brooks Scholarship Fundraiser on GoFundMe to help BIPOCQI folks gain access to cycling opportunities and the outdoors. You can head to RAR to read more about this scholarship and head on over to the GoFundMe if you can help out.

Last year, the Cycling Industry Pledge was founded by the RAR. Its intent is to hold companies accountable to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in the cycling community with signees making a commitment to actions outlined in the pledge. We’re proud to be a part of this initiative and have signed up once again. If your shop, company, or media outlet wants to sign up, you can read all about it at RAR.

Previously known as WTF Bikexplorers, the Radical Adventure Riders are looking forward to increasing and enhancing gender inclusivity and racial equity in the bicycle and outdoor adventure communities. As WTFBX did, the RAR is doing so by providing connection, education, resources, and support for the community.

See more at RAR and we look forward to continuing to support this organization!
