PRIDE CAT

Pride Cat is an annual volunteer-run alleycat race and celebration hosted during Pride Month in San Francisco. We bring together LGBTQ+ riders, allies, and joy-seekers to race, connect, and raise funds for trans-affirming causes.

And this is the fifth year of Pride Cat !!

Pride Cat is a love letter to trans, nonbinary, and queer community members—on bikes and beyond. It’s not just about racing, it’s about claiming space, showing up loud and proud, coming together as a community and giving back.

Funds raised have historically supported The Transgender District and Save Lyon-Martin Health Services.

This year, we are raising money for The LGBT Asylum Project and Oasis Legal Services — two organizations that support queer asylum seekers with no/low-cost high-quality legal counsel and social services.

ABOUT

In a city shaped by queer resistance and biking culture, Pride Cat creates a space where many communities meet. The event reclaims the streets not just for racing, but for visibility, mutual care, and collective memory.

At a time when trans and queer communities continue to face systemic harm—from attacks on healthcare access to the criminalization of asylum seekers, Pride Cat offers a joyful act of defiance.

Pride Cat reminds us that building community is a form of resistance, and that joy, speed, and solidarity can all ride in tandem.
