We don't say this often enough, but WCCC has always been open to all self-defining women of colour, including trans women, and non-binary people. by @wccc_uk

Germany 🇩🇪 what an incredible trip filled with friendship, cycling and laughter. ❤️

We had the best time riding through the beautiful Baden route with @la.reine.strictly.female thank you @wccc_uk , then switching for a couple of days of exploring. We cycled through the Black Forest, raced down the mountainside on a rollercoaster before taking on a very hilly trek to the suspension bridge.

A perfect little reset with plenty of adventure, sore legs, and lots of laughs along the way.

A beautiful quote from @samlakfood:
Our race, our identity, and who we are should never limit what we can achieve.

Sport is powerful. Sport is a voice. Sport brings us together.

Don’t stop. Keep pushing. Keep showing up.
🔥❤️🔥❤️

We taught 20 women to cycle in September! 🥳

It was quite emotional watching it come together for the learners and to see their confidence grow. Some started off looking like they were questioning their life choices 😆, but everyone left with a smile 🥹

And it’s all thanks to our amazing coaches @shirla50, @_ayoie & @lornamfergus 👏🏾🫶🏽

Thanks also to @wicked.bikes for supplying us with bikes & helmets and of course to @komoot & @alltheelements_ for providing the funding that made this possible 🙏🏿 by @wccc_uk

Still thinking about this day…
On 1 August 2026, the Black Unity Bike Ride returned to London for its 7th year and the LOVE was real. 🖤💚❤️

Thousands of us came together at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park for what BUBR calls its “Carnival on Bikes” Black people riding, laughing, dancing, waving flags, playing music and simply taking up space together.
And that's what makes this ride feel so special.

BUBR started in London in 2020 and now uses cycling to promote healthier, more active lives while creating spaces centred around unity, empowerment and love.

As someone who believes so strongly in getting our communities outdoors and moving, this is exactly the kind of energy I love to see. Representation matters. Feeling like you belong in these spaces matters. And seeing SO many Black people of different ages, abilities and cycling experiences moving through London together was powerful.

The bikes. The music. The outfits. The flags. The conversations. The community.
Black joy in motion. 🚲✊🏾

And after the ride? Straight into BUBR Fest for food, music, Black-owned businesses and even more community.

I’m already looking forward to doing it all over again next year. Who's coming with me? 👀🚲

Unity. Empowerment. Love.

Meet Women of Colour Cycling Collective (WCCC) - one of the komoot x All The Elements Community Fund recipients!

🌱 WCCC is a grassroots, member-led cycling community for women, trans and non-binary people from global majority backgrounds. The community exists to address the under-representation of women of colour and marginalised genders within cycling and outdoor spaces They empower cyclists across the UK by building community, providing training, and creating opportunities for people to ride and thrive in cycling.

They will use this fund to deliver a free learn-to-cycle programme in London, launching this weekend! This programme is for both existing members who haven't yet learned to ride and new participants interested in accessing cycling in a safe, inclusive and supportive environment. The programme will include a series of lessons followed by confidence building rides. Following the programme participants will have the opportunity to continue engaging with their regular group rides and community activities, creating long-term pathways into outdoor participation.

Women of Colour Cycling Collective hope that through this programme participants will gain confidence, improve their physical and mental wellbeing and build social connections through a supportive group environment resulting in lasting friendships and peer support networks.

Congratulations again to Women of Colour Cycling Collective - we are so excited to support your work!

A few weeks ago, Manchester welcomed the @blackunitybikeride and what a day it was. 🚴🏾‍♀️♥️🖤💚

There was rain, then sunshine, but most importantly there was unity. Seeing people of all ages and abilities riding together, reconnecting with old friends, making new ones, and celebrating community reminded us why events like this matter so much.

Now it’s London’s turn.

📍 1 August 2026

If you’re in or around London, come along, bring your bike and be part of something special. Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or just enjoy riding for fun, everyone is welcome.

A huge thank you to @blackunitybikeride for bringing this movement to Manchester—we can’t wait to see what London looks like.

If you enjoy community stories, travel and culture, follow @twocuriouscreators for more.

Black joy. Black excellence. Black unity.

Manchester showed up! What a day celebrating @blackunitybikeride alongside the incredible @beepedalready an inspiring all-female organisation changing lives by helping more women gain the confidence, skills and freedom to ride.

The streets were alive with energy and carnival vibes as cycling groups from across the UK rolled out together to celebrate our community, increase representation, remind the world that cycling belongs to everyone but most of all, have fun!!

It was amazing to share the road with groups @wccc_uk @blackcyclistsnetwork
@twr_cic . It's always a pleasure to see old friends @rhianesworld and meet new

With London's Ride coming up (1st August 2026) we have another chance to ride together for health, visibility, friendship, culture and showing the next generation what's possible. Every pedal stroke breaks down barriers and builds stronger, healthier communities.

A massive thank you to everyone who organised, volunteered and rode. The atmosphere was electric, the conversations were inspiring and the smiles said it all.

Here's to riding together, lifting each other up and making sure every road is open to everyone.

Keep pedalling. Keep connecting. Keep showing up. 🖤🚴🏾
