Register Today for the Virtual Women & Non-Binary Bike Summit!
Join us on Saturday, June 26 for the 8th Annual Women & Non-Binary Bike Summit presented by Dollar Bank. The Summit is a fun, one-day virtual event featuring live Zoom sessions on breaking down gendered barriers to bicycling, bike advocacy, size inclusivity in the cycling community, and skill building activities to boost your biking confidence.
The Virtual Women & Non-Binary Bike Summit will kick off with a keynote speech by Ann Nguyen, urban designer and member of Bicycle Colorado’s RIDE Advisory Board, on using the power of bicycling to drive change in social justice, environmental justice, and transportation infrastructure.
Our goal is to empower cis and trans women, non-binary, genderqueer, agender and gender variant people of all ages and abilities to feel comfortable and confident riding bikes around the city. Together, we can learn from and uplift each other to build a more connected and inclusive bicycling community.
New this year
This year’s Summit includes live sessions held via Zoom, an ice cream group ride, in-person packet pickup, and pay-what-you-can registration. All Summit participants will receive a free copy of the Bike Girl Magic ebook and be entered to win prizes from Machines for Freedom, Superfit Hero, Po Campo, and Terry Bicycles.
We will host a packet pickup at the BikePGH Office on June 24th & 25th from 12 PM – 6 PM. Those who attend packet pickup will receive a swag bag featuring:
- Bike lights
- Tire levers
- Patch Kit
- WMNBikePGH Water Bottle
- Pittsburgh Bike Map
- Biking 101 Guide
- Ride-Friendly Snacks
After the Summit, join the team in-person for a celebratory bike ride to Millie’s Ice Cream. Starting at Highland Park, the group ride will highlight bike-friendly connections that were recently installed as part of the MoveForwardPGH initiative. Don’t have a bike? No problem – we’ll have free Healthy Ride vouchers for anyone who would like to rent a bicycle.

BikePGH’s Women & Non-Binary program was created to break down barriers to bicycling and increase the representation of people who have historically marginalized gender identities. The program is inclusive of trans and cis women, intersex people, non-binary, genderqueer, agender and gender variant folks, as well as those whose gender identity falls outside of the dominant conceptions of gender.

The Women and Non-Binary Bike Summit is presented by Dollar Bank with additional support from MoveForwardPGH.
