We’re inviting voices from Black, Brown, and other diverse ethnic backgrounds to share their experiences with mountain biking in the UK — whether you’re riding weekly, just getting started, or simply thinking about giving it a go.
Please share as much or as little as you’re comfortable with. Over the next few weeks, we'll gather insights to help shape a follow-up article. Thank you!
This form does not collect names, emails, or login details. Your response is 100% anonymous.
How would you describe your identity (race/ethnicity)?
Optional – This helps us reflect a range of voices.
Where are you on your MTB journey?
Curious, new to it, occasional rider, long-time shredder?
How would you describe your experience in the UK MTB scene?
Has it felt welcoming, challenging, or just kind of normal?
Has your identity (e.g. race, gender, disability, etc.) shaped your experience in mountain biking in any way — or has it mostly just felt unremarkable?
If so, and you’re comfortable, what happened?
What’s helped you feel welcomed, included or encouraged in mountain biking and what could make it feel even more inclusive for you or others?
People, places, events, groups, brands — whatever made a difference.
Are there any groups, clubs, events or individuals helping to support diversity in MTB or the outdoors that you’d like to shout out?
Anything else you’d like to share?
