POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
We are addressing the confusion among male community members who have reached out suggesting our position is open to dialogue or negotiation. Our collective statement as femme cyclists is unmistakably clear:

NEU YORK IS NOT WELCOME IN CYCLING SPACES. OUR SAFETY IS NOT UP FOR NEGOTIATION. WE STAND WITH SURVIVORS.

Neu York AKA STEVEN @elunico_nyr was convicted of a violent incident involving his pregnant girlfriend. He threw her from a fifth-floor window. She survived, her baby didn’t. The severity of this violence cannot be minimized when discussing his return to cycling spaces. Our boundaries are not up for negotiation.

Survivors have spoken about feeling dismissed, unsupported, and pressured to move on while his return is entertained. We must ask ourselves: Whose voices are being heard, and whose are being ignored?

Serving a sentence does not automatically change behavior. It does not restore trust nor guarantee acceptance back into our community. No one is entitled to spaces where women have established boundaries to protect their safety.

This is bigger than one person’s return to cycling. It is about the community we choose to build and who we are willing to protect and enable.

We call on race organizers, clubs, teams, and sponsors to take meaningful action: listen to and center survivors, take safety concerns seriously, and establish and enforce clear accountability policies.

Silence is not solidarity. Inaction is not accountability.

We are not asking for another debate about whether survivors deserve support. We expect our community to demonstrate that support through action, not empty statements or pressure to move on.

SOLIDARITY IN THE PELOTON.
Ride together. Stand together. Hold the line.
NO ONE RIDES ALONE.
