Go Good

At PEARL iZUMi, we're dedicated to supporting advocacy programs that lead to more riders and more places to ride.

Go Grants is our way of supporting local cycling initiatives in communities across the country. We believe the best way to grow ridership at the local level is by lifting up communities.

Go Grants focuses on programs that foster new riders, encourage inclusivity, and improve riders’ experiences on trails, through increased access and sustainable maintenance. Read on for the stories of some of the people and organizations behind these “Go-worthy” efforts - to inspire us all to get involved and keep doing better through bikes.

This new program helps to reduce the barriers to bike adventure for BIPOC individuals. The grants provide funding for recipients who wish to pursue empowering and adventurous experiences by bicycle.
