The Brown Bike Girl

​“Bike lanes are white lanes,” is a saying that describes the heterogeneity on bicycle paths. Bicycle paths and bicycle planning need to be more inclusive and representative for a diversity of women to help them, regardless of age or origin, feel included and comfortable cycling. People of color experience different kinds of barriers related to racism, which need to be accounted for in bicycle planning. The Brown Bike Girl was launched in 2016 with that express purpose: to build capacity to break barriers and norms between communities of color and the bicycle. The ultimate aim of the initiative is to diversify leadership in the bicycling community, by involving organizations, individuals and institutions in communities of color that want to promote access to bicycling.
