It’s been a week since our third issue “Bike Liberation” launched. And honestly, this week has made it difficult to talk about it when I really want to burn it all down.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While we mourn and continue to seek justice for Breonna Taylor, I’m reminding myself not to cave into apathy and dismay. That would be too easy and resistance is a long road. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m also reminded that we must keep pedaling and seek to dismantle the policies and establishments that uphold the systems that allows the injustices of white supremacy and patriarchy to prevail. We must continue to create spaces and tables for us, by us, and work towards challenging a future where white supremacy, colonization, and patriarchy are non existent - that work starts inside each of us.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am not perfect and do not have all the answers so please do not put me on a pedal stool. I am always learning and I promise you alI that I will do what it takes to keep our message radical and to kill the cop in my head and burn the fucking system down so you can breath.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I encourage you all to carry THEIR NAMES with you when you ride, say them with every breath as you exhale and pedal. We must not fail them and future generations.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This issue means more to us than you can imagine, the collaboration, words, stories, and purpose behind it means something. Your support for this zine goes to building our tables and supporting BIPOC communities in need of funding. This one particularly goes to building a BIPOC event for us, by us. 10% of all our zine sales go to supporting a BIPOC bike led org. This work means more than zines, it means building what we need after we burn the shit that doesn’t serve us down.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #cyclistazine #bikeriotnotquiet #bipoccyclist #resistance #shredthepartriarchy #zine #zines #bikezines #diybikes #decolonizebikes #bipoczine #diybikeculture #ourbikesourstories #bikeliberation #bikesforjustice #ride4justice https://www.instagram.com/p/CFkFUJsHy15/?utm_medium=tumblr

Cyclista Zine Issue 3 is out tomorrow! Here’s a sneak peak 📓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In collaboration with @Pedal2ThePeople we are excited to announce our third issue “Bike Liberation”. For this 3rd issue, we are sharing stories, visual art, photography, poetry, and essays all related to the current liberation movement and bikes - with ass kicking earthquaking content!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This issue was put on hold while the cycling community started coming together during a pandemic to provide diy aid and then the movement to support Black Lives Matter erupted. During all this we held a campaign to #changethename of the DK gravel race (we are still waiting for this change) all while holding this industry and our communities accountable to do more to be inclusive and equitable (you still have work to do). This zine morphed into something I couldn’t predict, as the year threw in some challenges for us all. I’m super proud of this issue and our campaigns despite them taking over my life for the last few months and am so proud and overjoyed by the sheer boundless talent, solidarity, and friendship of all the wonderful contributors and collaborators who made this possible! ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While we felt that promoting zines was unnecessary during all this, we also felt is was more important than ever to amplify our friends, offer tools, and hope.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We dedicate this issue to the lives lost by police violence and hope the voices in these pages will give you much to think about what more you can do to support Black lives in cycling, outdoors, in life and the liberation movement⁣. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Keep your eyes peeled for this drop tomorrow 💌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #cyclistazine #bikeriotnotquiet #bipoccyclist #resistance #shredthepartriarchy #zine #zines #bikezines #diybikes #decolonizebikes #bipoczine #diybikeculture #ourbikesourstories #bikeliberation #bikesforjustice #ride4justice https://www.instagram.com/p/CFQIAj4pT7K/?utm_medium=tumblr

Cyclista Zine is building a virtual library! Have a pdf of your bike zine or know of bike zines that are available online? Contact us and we will put them on our website! This will be a collection of bike zines that are available online as PDFs or other digital versions. How to contribute: Have a bike zine you’d like listed in the library? Email us at [email protected] :) Please note that we are prioritizing zines that are BIPOC and WTF made. Our narratives matter! We are working hard to build this library to make available to you as a resource soon. Keep your eyes peeled, not long now. #cyclistazine #bikeriotnotquiet#bipocsonbikes #zine #zines#bikezines #diybikes #bipoczine#diybikeculture #ourbikesourstories#bikeliberation #zinelibrary#virtuallibrary
