Community fund 2026
Our Rainbow Socks have always been used for inclusive cycling races (see Projects). For 2026 we'll be making the proceeds more available to all kinds of events! We want to break down barriers and help more LGBTQ+ people feel at home in and around the cycling scene.
Whether you're an individual, club, team or existing event, if you need financial help to run an event to build skills and community on or around bikes, the ALL IN Racing fund is here to help.
To qualify your event must:
-
Be open to everyone (i.e. not require paid membership to a club or organisation),
-
Enable everyone to participate authentically,
-
Seek to build skills or community, or provide a service to the community related to cycling,
-
Not make a profit.
Types of engagements could include:
-
Competitive events,
-
Coached on-bike skills sessions,
-
Instructed off-bike skills sessions (e.g. maintenance, repair etc.),
-
Community knowledge-sharing events,
-
Outreach,
-
and anything else that fits the spirit of the fund!
About
ALL IN racing is an initiative to promote authentic queer inclusion in cycling.
We help people show support through our Rainbow Socks and we use the proceeds to fund inclusive cycling events.
Behind the scenes we work with brands, events and governing bodies to work towards better LGBTQ+ inclusion and to help cycling grow.
About me:
I’m Josh, an amateur racer based in Cambridge, UK. I’ve been cycling for ten years and earned an Elite British Cycling road racing licence before switching to focus on cyclocross where I have held a modest world ranking. I've also added some MTB to the mix since 2019.
Racing has given me a lot of great experiences, but these have often been set in a culture that did not feel particularly inclusive. The ALL IN racing initiative has sprung from my drive to help improve the status quo and make the sport more welcoming to people like me, whilst also generating new value for the industry and amateur and semi-professional teams.
