Events for September 22, 2023

After the saddening news in June of the UCI’s ban of trans athletes we release a joint statement with @queer_wheels On the 14th of June 2023 the UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale, world governing body for international cycling races) published an update to its transgender participation policies for international competition and UCI sanctioned events. We respond with the below:‘We fully reject these discriminatory policies and bans by the UCI, subsequent events and other spaces in cycling’ ‘We believe that both competitive and non-competitive cycling is for everyone. Evidence shows that exclusion promotes hate, harassment and violence towards LGBTQIA+ people. This policy creates an unsafe sports environment which goes against basic human rights’We will continue to work with @queer_wheels on policies and safe space initiativesWe encourage brands, governing bodies and other cycling spaces to connect with us to create a better sports climate for all 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️Full statement on new UCI ruling can be read in this post ⬆️ ...
