Sponsored Events
As Pink Tag Bags, I aim to give back to the communities that helped me become the person and cyclist that I am today. By supporting local events and DIY races, I strive to inspire cyclists from all backgrounds. Whether it's a summer race series or a one-off alley cat, I want to motivate people to get out there, ride hard, and have good times. Inclusivity in cycling is essential, and I ensure that every race I sponsor has a WTFNB (Women, Trans, Femme, Non-Binary) category.
Cranksgiving - NYC 2024
I was invited to sponsor several Cranksgivings in 2024, but this year I chose NYC - Manhattan. Manhattan was the Original Cranksgiving that started it all and they were celebrating their 25 anniversary! This event raises goods for shelters and food banks, and this year collected over $750 in product. Nearly 100 cities across the country hosted a Cranksgiving, and every city does it a little differently. I was fortunate to be able to attend this event and have a full write up HERE.
Grit MTB Festival
Grit Fest is a 3-day community-building event for trans men and women, cis women, and non-binary folks of all abilities and backgrounds. Inclusion of WTFNB riders in cycling is a core value of Pink Tag Bags and I was really excited when I was asked to contribute to the event as an official sponsor of 2024. Events like these are essential for expanding bicycle culture and I hope that this event continues to grow.
North American Cycle Courier Championships N.A.C.C.C.
I'm excited to announce that I’ve been invited to sponsor the 2024 North American Cycle Courier Championship (NACCC), a premier event celebrating the skills and camaraderie of bike couriers across the continent. I’ll be traveling to the event to showcase Pink Tag Bags and to support this incredible community. Being part of NACCC is huge honor, and I look forward to reconnecting with old friends and fellow cyclists.
U-Lock Mob Summer Race Series
I was honored when I was first asked if I’d like to sponsor the 2023 Summer Race Series, and then again in 2024. This annual series takes place every July since 2006, and brings riders from all over LA to come out and run some intense routes. This series has been happening for 18 years and I hope that with the community continuing to show up strong that it will continue for many years to come. I was invited to support this by my friend Andy of Jah Pedals Workshop, a friend who I had met through the LA Knight Riders.
