Ride with Pride is about showing up, standing together, and supporting LGBTQ+ communities. Every mile ridden helps challenge stigma, raise awareness, and fund vital work that makes a real difference.

This is more than just a bike ride—it’s a visible act of solidarity with our communities.

This year, James and Matthew are taking on a ride along the Exe Estuary, cycling from Exmouth to Dawlish Warren and back again. It’s a beautiful route, but the reason behind it matters far more than the miles.

Every day, LGBTQ+ people still face stigma, barriers to healthcare, and inequalities that affect their wellbeing. Visibility matters because it challenges those barriers—it says clearly: you are seen, you are valued, and you are not alone.

By riding with pride, James and Matthew are helping spark conversations, raise awareness, and support work that creates safer, more inclusive communities for everyone.
