July 23, 1000 Pedal for Pride – Social Ride
Location: Homomonument
Pedal for Pride 2023 (cycling/cycling) Cycling is a great sport. It is an important part of everyday life in the Netherlands. We cycle to work, to do the shopping, to exercise or just to feel good. However, when it comes to joining a club or as an amateur to take up cycling, there are many barriers for LGBTQIA+ people. It is common knowledge that the cycling industry is not inclusive of divers at all levels. This culture must change. Pedal For Pride is an initiative to create, connect and celebrate Pride in cycling. The rides will be at a social pace and you are all welcome to join Sebastien (she/it) on one of their legs.
