In honor of Juneteenth, MTB Girls Magazine celebrates the legacy of Black women in cycling—past and present. From the historic 1928 ride of five women from Harlem to D.C., to modern trailblazers like Ayesha McGowan, Keshia Roberson, Kaya Cattouse, and Taneika, this piece honors those who’ve claimed space on bikes and inspired greater diversity in the sport. It’s a powerful reminder that Black history is outdoor history—and that the ride continues.
