WHO WE ARE

Melanin Base Miles was created in response to the 2020 murder of George Floyd and is a Washington, D.C.-Maryland-Virginia (DMV) - based effort to increase access and remove barriers to dirt-based cycling for riders who are Black, Indigenous, and/or other people of color (BIPOC). 


Melanin Base Miles programs visibly increase racial representation and promote racial equity.
