Founded in 2019 as the flagship program of Black Transcendence, Black Trans Bike Experience (BTBE) has grown into a Black, Trans, Womanist, and emergent community. The vision of BTBE is threefold:
1) to strengthen connections between Black, trans & queer people and their broader communities,
2) to celebrate & affirm growing Black youth, Black women, & Black Trans people, and
3) to demystify and increase access to the multi-faceted activity/sport of biking as a way to grow a lifelong sense of belonging in bike-healthy communities, and the cycling industry at large.
We’re grateful for the opportunity to support BTBE as they develop a local gear library to lead trips for the community.
