2WheelGods is a collective of urban cyclists cultivating environments that nurture physical, emotional, + mental health through community rides and events for Black, Brown, + Queer cyclists. The collective was founded in 2016 with the intention of creating and maintaining a consistent in-motion space that introduces people of color to the world of cycling in a fun, supported, + communal way. They put that intention into action by hosting weekly Wednesday night rides from May - October through different neighborhoods of the city, hosting joy rides for queer + trans people of color (POC) in collaboration with Party Noire, introducing riders to Black + POC-owned bike shops throughout the city, reducing barriers to inclusion by providing access to bicycles + safety gear, collaborating with the BLK Bike Panel to educate + connect cyclists of color within Chicago, + by modeling compassion, kindness, + vulnerability.
