The Monthly Cycle

The Monthly Cycle Committed to fostering an inclusive bicycling community for women, trans, and non-binary STL residents.

Women, trans, and non-binary folx are invited to join our monthly rides, held on the first Monday of every month, year round! We are committed to:

Helping more women, trans, femme, and non-binary folks confidently ride bikes in a way that fits their needs and lifestyle;

Empowering women, trans, femme, and non-binary folks to trust in the power of their own body as a form of transportation;

Incr

easing the number of women, trans, femme, and non-binary people biking on the streets of STL;

Identifying and reducing the barriers women, trans, femme, and non-binary people face while biking through encouragement, community, and advocacy;

Inclusivity across race, age, sexual identity, non-binary identify, socio-economic background, and fitness level.
