Grab This Colorful, Inclusive Pride Cycling Gear and Show Your Support This Month

Pride Month is here again, and it’s time to celebrate and uplift those who are bisexual, transgender, gay, lesbian, and queer. Fly those rainbow flags high. Specifically within the cycling community, this month sees an outpouring of support in the form of group rides around the country, from Houston’s Pride Bike Ride to the Pride Ride in Madison, Wisconsin, to Out Cycling’s NYC Pride Ride. These inclusive casual rides celebrate the intersection of LGBTQIA+ and cycling cultures.
And many cycling brands make Pride-forward products and donate proceeds to charities and programs uplifting queer communities. Pit Viper, for example, offers up some heart-eyed sunglasses to raise money for the Utah Pride Center and Flourish Therapy. Chrome teamed up with Gay’s Okay for a capsule collection of bags and gives a chunk of proceeds to Outright International, an organization dedicated to uplifting the LGBTQIA+ community. Molly Cameron, founder of RIDE (Riders Inspiring Diversity and Equality), sells Trans Flag wristbands for riders to show allyship at local events.
We’ve rounded up some of the coolest Pride cycling gear, much of which helps generate money for local community-strengthening programs. Grab a Pride product and show your allyship this June—and all the time. And, of course, direct donations are also a great way to show support this month. If you don’t need more gear, consider giving to rider-inclusive charities like RIDE, OutCycling, Radical Adventure Riders, The Trevor Project, GLSEN, and It Gets Better Project.
The Rainbow Jellies Admirer Sunglasses
Pit Viper’s Rainbow Jellies Admirer sunglasses are glittery, heart-shaped, and super pink—perfect for blocking sun rays and haters alike. Proceeds from every pair sold will directly support the Utah Pride Center and Flourish Therapy for up to $10,000. And the price? $69.69. Nice.
