Help Us Diversify Cycling: Representation Matters!

I started cycling as a means to nurture my individuality. So much of who I am are those I love. When I’m on my bike, I’m just Megan.

I joined Stamina Racing Collective to learn from athletes who love riding just as much (possibly more) as myself.  We want to compete, advocate for others who previously may not have been included or even welcomed in this community, and look great doing it. We will continue to work to diversify cycling until the industry reflects ALL of us.

Approximately 15% of licensed racers in USA Cycling are those in women’s fields. Even fewer riders identify as Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Color (BIPOC), with estimates ranging from 8%-10% across all BIPOC groups. The goal of Stamina Racing Collective  is to strengthen and diversify the pipeline of women, trans, and non-binary athletes in competitive cycling. Three of the major factors that decrease the participation of cyclists in women's fields include inequitable opportunities, a lack of support from others, and barriers to accessibility. Our team uses a three tiered approach to address these barriers. Our pillars include mentorship, accessibility, and community development.

We are fundraising for Minnesota's Give to the Max Day in order to support our start-up costs and the costs of our first full season of racing and community events. 

Thank you in advance for your support!
