WE Ride to the Movement
WE Bike NYC’s June 2020 News
To our community:
WE believe that Black Lives Matter.
Our city, like many others across the country, is in the throes of a movement for justice and equity, a movement that has been building for decades.
WE know that while a bicycle can provide freedom, that freedom is not equal across all races. Racism shows up in the bike community in many ways: from the over-policing of immigrant delivery workers; to the disparity in cycling infrastructure and traffic calming measures between predominantly white neighborhoods and communities of color; to the use of cars and bikes for violence against protesters this week. Our streets belong to all the people of New York.
Inclusion is at the core of our mission. WE want to get more women, female-identifying, and gender nonconforming people on bikes in NYC — no matter what kind of bike they ride, or the color of their skin. WE will continue to build an antiracist organization and community.

WE Bike NYC’s July 2019 News & Events!
WE’re opening up this newsletter on a solemn note to remember the three members of the NYC cycling community who lost their lives in car crashes this past week: Robyn Hightman, Ernest Askew, and Victor Ang.
The number of NYC bicycle fatalities in 2019 already surpasses last year’s total. If you feel less safe on your bike or less certain about biking on our streets, WE feel you. Join this conversation in the Forum to hear how other people are coping with the loss and learn about ways you can get involved to help make our streets safer.
WE look forward to seeing you at this month’s events, where WE’ll ride with comfort in numbers and the solidarity of friendship.
