These Queer Bike Clubs Welcome LGBTQ+ Riders On the Road

We're turning the spotlight on the growing number of queer bike clubs that are working to make cycling more welcoming and inclusive for queer, non-binary, and femme-identified riders! The new wave of bike clubs celebrate diversity and cultivate supportive environments tailored to the needs of queer, trans, non-binary and femme cyclists. And they are grounded in a supportive and inclusive, all levels welcome framework. Group rides are frequently no dropโ€“โ€“ going at the pace of the slowest rider, with no pressure to speed up. And many offer gear lending libraries and skills workshops to build comfort and confidence among newer riders.

The Best Tours for Older Lesbiansย 

Older women have more time on their hands and more disposable income (in some casesโ€ฆsadly the wage gap is alive and well, with many older women having less due to decade of underpayment). These women are looking to travel with their peers and forge new connections, romantic and platonic. And they want to do it in an all-lesbian environment, or at least a group that is lesbian-friendly! These 5 tour companies have some of the most exciting options for older female travelers, with some tours exclusively for older lesbians and bisexual women.

The Top Destinations in Europe for Queer Women

As an out queer person, finding destinations where I can be myself is a top priority when I travel.ย  Safety and comfort are non-negotiable, which is why I am so excited to share some of the best destinations in Europe for queer women.ย  When I can hold my partner's hand, dress how I want, and connect with the local queer community, it transforms the vacation experience. No more having to hide or worry about being misgendered in public spaces. Instead, I can focus on connecting with people, experiencing a new culture, and doing the things I enjoy โ€“ activities like hiking, kayaking, wandering charming towns and villages, and of course letโ€™s not forget the food!
