ASIA Rainbow Ride – Cycle for Love

The Asia Rainbow Ride was a multi-day cycling event that strived to make a positive impact and create meaningful change for LGBTQ individuals in Asia. Together, we achieved so much:

We held four Rainbow Rides that drew over a total of 341 riders to bike 784 km over 11 days.
We also had a large impact online with our videos viewed over 100,000 times.
We donated a total of 615,885 NT to the Taiwan AIDS Foundation, Taiwan Equality Campaign, and Taiwan Tongzhi Hotline Association.
We created many new friendships amongst Rainbow Riders around the world.

This website holds the memories from our events. As we close this chapter, we hope that our efforts have inspired others to continue the journey towards a better future. We are happy to provide our learnings to any other NGOs in Asia who are interested in starting a cycling event.

“I’m touched by the community along the ride. People are encouraged to be themselves and have fun. We’re a diverse group...a mix of LGBT people, allies, local Taiwanese, and foreign residents. The cycling distance is a challenge, but the energy of the group pushes you.”

"As a straight person, I wanted to join this ride because I'm cycling for love. I feel like no matter who you are, you should be accepted for who you are. I support humanity. I support love."

"This event is not just about riding a bike. It's also about lifting up Asia. I hope Taiwan can use its standing to help other LGBT communities in Asia."

“We’re so happy to support the growth of ASIA Rainbow Ride in Taiwan. I know that the international LGBT community will love to join in this yearly event once world travel is possible again. Events like these bring our world together and promote the love and light of our community.”
