Pedal for Pride: Five Day Bike Ride to Support Affirmations Seeks Riders and Donations
Ferndale, MI – Pedal for Pride is a five-day community ride across Michigan.
The journey begins in Traverse City and ends at Affirmations in Ferndale, covering hundreds of miles over five days. Along the way, riders and support crew travel together with a shared purpose: raising awareness and funds to improve the quality of life for LGBTQ+ Michiganders through education, programming, advocacy, and community connection.
Some riders are members of the LGBTQ+ community. Others are allies. What unites this team is a simple belief: everyone deserves access to safe, affirming spaces that support their health, well-being, and connection to community.
The ride takes place Aug 16-20.
