Spokeswomen Racing acknowledges the systemic inequality towards people of color, especially the Black community, and we support the peaceful protests for positive change.
We remain dedicated to our team’s mission to promote women’s bike racing and support the development of female cyclists competing in bike races while also encouraging our members to give back to the cycling community and other charitable causes. Spokeswomen Racing strives to create a safe and inclusive space for women/trans/femme (WTF) cyclists from all cultural backgrounds to pursue bike racing; a supportive team environment and product/financial assistance are some of the ways in which we support this goal.
We also acknowledge that bike riding and racing is a privileged sport: stable housing, income inequality, access to bikes, gear, safe streets, and time are all significant barriers to entry. One way in which our team currently supports all women and women of color, including Black women, is by providing meal assistance to the Jubilee Women’s Center, a local nonprofit that provides housing and support to women experiencing homelessness. We will continue our volunteer support to Jubilee. We commit to expand our understanding of structural racism, and we will explore more ways to engage with and empower communities of color.
