How it works

Three steps. No card today.

In 2027 I ride 10,000 miles, all on the bike, for queer communities. You pledge a few cents a mile, free to start, and pick which org it goes to.

    A few cents a mile, or a flat amount. No card, nothing today. Your name goes on the board.

  2. 02

    I ride.

    10,000 miles in 2027, all of them on the bike. Every ride logs to Strava and lands on this site within the hour.

  3. 03

    You decide.

    You pick the org when you pledge. In January you settle up with them, directly, and they get every dollar. Queer communities, every mile.

Pledge and pick

You don’t have to be queer to ride with me or to pledge. The money goes to queer-serving orgs. That’s the point.

Questions

The ones people ask first.

All of them
Do I have to pay now?
No. You pledge now and settle up in January 2028, one email, one link. No card until then.
Where does the money go?
Direct to the org you picked, 100% of it. Everyone on the board chooses their own. I don’t keep a cent.
What does a pledge cost?
A few cents a mile. At 1¢ that’s $100 at 10,000 miles. Or name a flat number. Same deal.
Can I ride with you?
Yes. Six dates on the calendar so far, and every group ride in the directory is open to anyone.
What if you don’t make 10,000?
You pay for the miles I rode. Every one of them is on Strava.
