We’re so excited to launch our FLiC Friday night rides this season! Created to grow and celebrate our female riding community. These rides are female-focused, but open to anyone who wants to support and ride alongside. Whether you’re brand new or a seasoned rider, there’s a place for you
Let’s get Lost Girls!
Black Girls Do Bike
It's like a pep rally for black girls on bikes! Our interest is in growing and supporting a community of women of color who share a passion for cycling. We champion efforts to introduce the joy of cycling to all women, but especially, black women and girls. We are establishing a comfortable place where female cyclists can support, advise, organize meet-ups/rides and promote skill-sharing. We look to share positive images of ladies and their bikes that affirm the truth that black girls do indeed bike! We support bike advocacy, awareness, education and safety in all communities and corners of the world.
Meet the Girl Gang!

Shannon Adams
Hi! My name is Shannon Adams and I’ve been a level 1 BICP instructor for a year now, yay! I also volunteer for our local non-profit mtb organization, COMBO in Columbus, OH. I’m 53 y/o and am the broadcast engineer for the Columbus Bluejackets NHL team. It’s such an exciting life!
I have been riding mountain bikes for 15 years now but totally fell in love with it after a women’s group ride in 2019. My riding took on a whole new look after being able to ride with this group, they were so inspiring. I felt I could do what they were doing and try “hard” or “scary” things because I could see myself in them. That really built my confidence and led me to take some women’s clinics to learn more. I am excited to help other women gain their confidence on the bike. It has been a wild ride to say the least, but it’s so worth the work you put in. I can’t wait to see you out there, Shannon.
