In September, John Shackelford, a 25-year-old New York City bike messenger, will ride 1,114 miles along the Underground Railroad. He and a team of Black cyclists will traverse a mix of paved and unpaved roads in the eastern and southern U.S. on a mission to increase representation in the cycling world. To find out more and learn how you can contribute to and support their journey, check out their website.
