Half Acre Cycling
@halfacrecycling.bsky.social
Half Acre Cycling is a USA Cycling licensed racing club based in Chicago, IL. Our racing grant program has helped get more BIPOC racers and women, non binary and trans racers into events around the country.
Chicagoland bike teams stand united. We are deeply disappointed in the recent USA Cycling policy change banning trans women and creating barriers for trans men in racing. We will continue to do the work to support, uplift, and race alongside our trans teammates and community members -- always.

On 9/21 we're hosting another Gender Equity CX clinic!
We want to cover novice women, nonbinary and trans (🤞🏼) racers entries into the first chicrosscup races of the year. We also want to cover BIPOC novice entry fees for these two races. Send us an email if you're interested and we'll set you up.

We're contacting USA Cycling to tell them their last minute rule change banning trans women sucks, and that we're going to choose our trans community over USAC.

Some folks need a reminder: Trans women are women.
