History

Mission

Positive Pedalers are the positive face of HIV.

We are a group of people committed to building a supprtive and inclusive community through participation in bicycle-related activities. We are dedicated to expanding and enhancing public awareness of HIV and AIDS, and empowering HIV-positive people to live more meaningful and dignified lives.

HIV infection rates continue to increase. Stigma stops many people from getting tested, and may prevent those infected from getting life-saving services and treatments. Stigma can create a silence within communities at a time when communication and understanding is paramount.

The simple slogan “Silence = Death” continues to ring true. Positive Pedalers know that there is power in riding together; that an orange Positive Pedaler flag placed on your bike is a beacon, to others and to yourself, that HIV cannot and will not define who they are.
