About this event

  • Event lasts 5 hours 30 minutes

Join Queer Wheels and Pedal for Pride this summer!


Pedal For Pride is an initiative to raise awareness, create connections and celebrate Pride in cycling. During Amsterdam Pride Month, Queer Wheels will host its annual Pride Ride.


We will have groups of different routes and speeds for all levels. All groups will have a Queer Wheels ride leader to guide and support you. At the end of our ride, we will celebrate at TwoTone with music and food from BBQ Bike!


If you don't want to ride, still join us to celebrate pride! After the ride we will have a small party at TwoTone for everyone: cyclists and non-cycling supporters!


Allies welcome and encouraged!
