About Black Girls Do Bike Nashville
BGDB’s interest is in growing and supporting a community of women of color who share a passion for cycling. We champion efforts to introduce the joy of cycling to all women, but especially, women and girls of color. We are establishing a comfortable place where female cyclists can support, advise, organize meet-ups/rides and promote skill-sharing. We hope to be a liaison to help usher new riders past barriers to entry and into the larger cycling community. We rejoice when women choose cycling as a tool for alternative transportation, self-care, and ultimately empowerment. We look to share positive images of ladies and their bikes to affirm the truth that black girls do indeed bike! We encourage bike advocacy, education, volunteerism and safety in all communities and corners of the world.
About Walk Bike Nashville
Since 1998, Walk Bike Nashville has worked to make Nashville more walkable, bikeable and livable by advocating for better and safer streets, and supporting a culture of walking and bicycling. We advocate for better infrastructure and transportation policy by building community and neighborhood support for these changes. We also work to support those who are already walking and biking, and those who want to start through educational programs and fun events.
