OUR CULTURE
OUR VALUES
This is what Puppyton is about and how we ride together and it’s what we expect from each other.
-
Puppyton is built for motivated cyclists, not a certain background, look or level. We believe cycling is better when it's accessible, inclusive and genuinely welcoming. Every new rider should feel like they belong from day one.
-
We love getting stronger, pushing ourselves and celebrating progress. But we never confuse community with competition. The best rides challenge you while leaving everyone smiling.
-
Cycling is a team sport, even when you're chasing your own goals. We share our knowledge, parts, tools and encourage each other. Strong riders can help build to a stronger community.
-
Puppyton is about friendships, shared experiences and a community people want to come back to. We value curiosity, openness and spending time together on and off the bike.
-
Some behaviours simply don't belong at Puppyton. We do not accept discrimination, sexism, racism, xenophobia, harassment, predatory behaviour, exclusion or actions that knowingly put others at risk. Our community only works when everyone feels safe, respected and welcome.
If you experience or witness behaviour that goes against these values, please report it to any of the board members. Protecting our culture is everyone's responsibility.
