Pedal for Pride 2024 (wielrennen / cycling) Cycling is an amazing sport. It’s an important part of everyday life in the Netherlands. We cycle to work, to get our groceries, to work out, or just to feel good. However, when it comes to joining a club or getting into cycling as an amateur, there are lots of barriers for LGBTQIA+ people. It’s well known that the cycling industry at all levels is not inclusive or diverse. This culture needs to shift.
Pedal For Pride is an initiative to raise awareness, create connections and celebrate Pride in cycling. The rides will be at a social pace, and you are all welcome to join Sebastien on one of their legs. We’re here to help pedal it into the future. We want to challenge discrimination and support cyclists, cycling clubs and governing bodies through education to make cycling a safe(r) space for LGBTQIA+ people.
