This event was designed with all women* (cis and trans) in mind; this includes women of color and the non-binary community. We are intentionally trying to expand outside of the current trails, cycling, and active transportation bubble by welcoming women who typically haven’t participated in these communities. We also believe it is important to build relationships with women who are current members of those communities to deepen partnerships and connections. Summit attendees are not required to be cycling enthusiasts but are encouraged to be interested in social change, active transportation, nonprofits, community groups, or grassroots organizations making positive change within their community.

Financial Assistance Available

We want to remove as many barriers as possible that keep women from attending: Financial assistance is available to help cover the costs of being absent from a day or work and/or assist with child-care costs. Email [email protected] if you need financial assistance. We chose a streaming service that will make virtual sessions easy to access via mobile devices for those who may not have a computer or stable internet access. We are also mindful of our outdoor adventures being local and easy to get to and the importance of having down-to-earth guides to help make these experiences not only fun but comfortable. If you would like to try an outdoor activity for the first time then this is the right place for you.

*The Critical Mass Summit team is conscious of the ever-evolving language around gender and identity. The Summit team uses woman/en to refer to anyone who identifies as female, regardless of sex assigned at birth, gender expression, or gender identity. The goal is to create a space that is inclusive, respectful, and welcoming of the trans, cis and non-binary communities.
