- DON’T OWN A BIKE!? NO PROBLEM! BIKETOWN/Lyft will provide a $50 credit for all of our Native and Indigenous riders who sign up via our waiver being put out by BikePOC. IF YOU NEED A HELMET please reach out to the IG handled below, we are working with @chingonasoutside to make this possible.
- The funding will provide payment for the venue first as a priority. Any additional donations will be given to the Native and Indigenous vendors/affiliates. Thank you for your time and efforts.
This event is for Native Americans and peoples who identify as Indigenous not only here in the US but for example Chicanos and Taínos such as myself and many others that would not identify as natives.
