Giving Back

It is no secret that the the bicycle industry, and indeed the greater outdoor industry as a whole, lacks equal representation. I founded Corvid Cycles with an audacious statement: “Titanium Bicycles for Every Body”. The statement is a deliberate play on words that encompasses not just those of varying size and shape, but also those from communities underrepresented in cycling. To that end, I have pledged to donate a portion of my annual profits to supporting individuals and organizations devoted to increasing diversity, equity and inclusion in cycling, and in the broader community. This is an ongoing effort.

A monetary donation to Adaptive Adventures

A monetary donation to the Studio Arts Boulder Outreach Program
