We Value
COMMUNITY
We want to ensure that Friends on Bikes participants have a safe, supportive, and fun cycling community they belong to. We encourage all forms of riding, from everyday commuting to casual riding to off-road adventures.
AWARENESS
We want to bring more exposure to BIPOC who are women, trans, and/or non-binary. There is a huge lack of representation for BIPOC in cycling media, advocacy, and organizations. We believe we can break down the typical white male cyclist stereotype by combining and amplifying our voices.
ADVOCACY
We believe in volunteering, donating, and working with our allies to encourage more cycling advocacy with the FOB community. We support nonprofits, businesses, and individuals who encourage progress for cycling.
The Name
FOB
The name Friends on Bikes originally came from a group of (Asian) friends while attending Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA, who loved all things related to cycling, from exploring their city on two wheels to riding in almost every state in America. While most of the group has moved to other states, they still have a passion for cycling and riding their bikes together whenever they reunite.
FOB welcomes all BIPGM now!
