Outspoken Cycle Club

Why Outspoken

Ride with queer cyclists and allies in Seattle and San Diego.

Outspoken Cycle Club is a friendly queer and allied (LGBTQIA+) non-profit cycle club with everything from road cycling to mountain biking and bikepacking. We have both easy urban group rides for casual cyclists, and big distance or climbing adventures throughout the year if you're more hardcore. During 2024, we logged more than 150 rides, and we'll be doing even more in 2025!

Choose your own adventure.

Join us for whichever rides work for you. We have clubs in Seattle and San Diego, and do everything from short evening rides to big adventures.

Membership

Being a member of Outspoken Cycle Club costs just $30 a year, and it grants access to the groups in both Seattle and San Diego. All new members will have 30 days to try out the club before the membership payment is due. Outspoken is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization, and these funds provide the necessary infrastructure for the club.

Rides planned and led by experienced leaders
‍Outspoken takes pride in planning fun, safe, and social rides. Experienced volunteer members in the club curate great routes, and ensure that you have all of the information you need to decide if a ride is good for you. Then, during the ride, these leaders will be there with you to make sure you stay on track and have fun.
Access to the Outspoken Heylo group
We use an app called Heylo to manage and share our members-only rides and events, and a member directory to learn more about who we are. You can use this on web or mobile, and the mobile app will give you options for push notifications or calendar syncing so that you always stay on top of what rides and events are happening.
Membership and insurance with The League of American Bicyclists
Outspoken members have access to the cycling education and events provided by the League of American Bicyclists, and all Outspoken rides are appropriately insured through The League. See bikeleague.org for more information.
Ride with GPS club membership
Ride with GPS is a great app to plan your rides and can also provide turn-by-turn directions while you're on your bike to make sure you keep on track. Outspoken membership comes with access to the club's ride library, and you can use the turn-by-turn feature on any ride from the club's library with no additional cost.
