Pride and Sports Outdoor 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.

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 space for LGBTQIA+ people. 

Want to join us? We are looking for volunteers! Contact us via vrijwilliger@prideandsports.nl

Did you know?

In 2021 a survey of LGBTQIA+ cyclists in Amsterdam 95% of people questioned had not joined a cycling club due to fear of descrimination. This number should not exist. The cycling industry has low representation of LGBTQIA+ people at all levels.

Need Support?
