We are kicking off Bike Month on Saturday, May 3 with a celebration of cycling, culture, and community!

This special event – put together by Black History Bike Ride (BHBR), Major Taylor Cycling Club of Austin (MTCC ATX), and Yellow Bike Project (YBP) – will begin with a bike ride concluding at the Carver Branch, Austin Public Library. 

Following the ride, we’ll host a film program starting with a screening of the Black History Bike Ride documentary “Momentum: The Origin Story of Black History Bike Ride”, followed by “This Is My Moment”.

The featured film follows Eritrean cyclist Biniam Girmay’s historic rise as the first Black African to win cycling’s elite classics and Grand Tour stages. The event will conclude with a Q&A session featuring Austin-based Eritrean road cyclist Zemikael Negash, who trained with Biniam during their teenage years in Eritrea.
