FAQs
Who can join?
We are a club that wants to promote cycling in marginalized communities. But if you are an ally of under-represented communities then you are very welcome to join!
How much does it cost?
Whatever you can afford. It would be pointless to offer a club to marginalized people and create a financial barrier as well. If you got it, then we’d appreciate it! If not, you got no worries, welcome to the club. And we are hoping to get to the point where we can loan out bikes, and provide cycling gear to those that can’t afford it as well! (which it is important that those can can afford to donate do!)
Is this a competitive team?
As of now it is not, but we have people who ride competitively on the club, including our co-founder Will McElgunn. If interests grows we would be stoked to have a competitive side of the team, but our mission is to promote cycling to all people, whether you are a beginner or a World-Tourer
I love the idea! I just am already in another club though….
No worries! Just join, we don’t care. If you on AAVC or the UMICH cycling team for example and want to meet new people and support the growth of cycling then you are more than welcome! As far as representing us in races/events, we don’t care if you gotta rep the other clubs!
So i don’t know much about biking…..
Great! Come join and we will grow with you. We have people at all different levels, and everyone is happy to help. One of our co-founders is pretty new to the sport too, and still is figuring out how not to fall using those cool clip-on shoe thingys (It’s Dawit if you were wondering).
What do ya’ll do?
We meet up and ride bikes. That’s pretty much it right now. We are new to the game so as we grow more rigidity and structure will come with that. We also hop into some bigger rides put on by the great local businesses and clubs here!
