Who are Radical Adventure Riders?
Radical Adventure Riders (RAR) was originally founded in 2017 by six friends who shared a passion for adventure cycling and wanted to encourage, support, and celebrate a wider representation of riders.
RAR is also YOU – any trans, woman, intersex, and femme person that loves biking and the outdoors. Allies of the RAR community are welcome to reach out to find ways to support our efforts!
What do FTWN-B and BIPOC mean?
FTWN-B is shorthand for femme, transgender, women and non-binary. BIPOC is shorthand for Black, Indigenous and people of color. We acknowledge that letters and labels only go so far and that, above all, we seek to respect whatever words people use to describe themselves. We hope to engage in a conversation where we can learn more about one another.
Will RAR events be accessible to cis-men?
RAR events, programs, and Chapters are not accessible to cis-men unless specifically stated otherwise. If you want to support our work, you can help spread the word about what RAR is doing with your friends and community. Donating to our organization, and buying merchandise on our store also helps fund our operating costs to run our programs.
Does your company want to connect with the RAR community in a meaningful way?
If your brand is interested in supporting a specific RAR Chapter, reach out to them directly—you can find a full list of RAR Chapters here.
Looking to make a broader impact by sponsoring the entire RAR Chapter network? We’d love to explore partnership opportunities with you! Email us at radicaladventureriders@gmail.com and we’ll be in touch soon.
Are you a non-profit 501c3?
Radical Adventure Riders is a decentralized network of grassroots Chapters, each shaped by the unique needs of their local community. Some operate under nonprofit sponsorship, others as LLCs—each Chapter chooses the structure that works best for them.
Who do I contact for volunteering?
We are so grateful for your interest in supporting RAR! Please reach out to your local Chapter if you’d like to get involved with RAR—you can find a full list of RAR Chapters here.
How can I start a RAR Chapter?
We are stoked you want to start a RAR Chapter. RAR Chapter applications are currently closed but there are Chapters across the U.S. and Australia that you can connect with and ask questions about being a Chapter. We will make an announcement on social media when Chapter applications open up again.
I have more questions!
