Equitable Cities is working on a nationwide project, and are seeking Black people in the US from all backgrounds across gender, LGBTQ+, complexion, abilities, ages (18+), immigration and economic status, to participate in a national Black Bicycle Riding Survey. The 20-minute survey will help inform how to best act on the needs of Black cyclists. They want to reach all Black people across the country, regardless of cycling ability or interest. They are giving away $2,000 for survey participation. Ten individuals and/or families will receive $200 each in a gift card drawing. The first drawing occurred December 25, 2022. The second drawing is on February 1, 2023 (survey deadline). Take the survey today! www.equitablecities.com/blackcyclistsurvey/
