Making a difference
Black Sheep was born out of desire to do things differently. To make cycling apparel that reflected who we were as people
We consider ourselves Purposefully Different. Dedicated to making a difference for men’s mental health, through our ManRide. And encouraging and supporting getting more women into, and ahead in the sport, through our WMN Initiative. Driven by passion and elevated by our amazing, passionate, community. This is the stuff that gets us outta bed (when we're not riding!). Producing cycling apparel is just an added bonus.
THANKS TO YOUR SUPPORT WE’VE RAISED OVER $200,000FOR OUR MAN RIDE AND WMN INITIATIVES.
Man Ride. A Retrospective.
Looking back to move forward.
Since its inception in 2016, the Man Ride has taken a multitude of guises. Ahead of this year’s ride and our ongoing dedication to making a difference, we look back at the story so far ...
ManRide/Share
A new platform brought to you by Black Sheep. Mental Health has many faces, so we’re taking a multifaceted approach to telling the stories of men from our community. Across different industries, careers, and walks of life who cope with their own mental health problems in unique ways.
The WMN Initiative
The goal of the WMN Initiative is three-fold. Help elite female cyclists realise their goals of a pro career. Increase female participation in cycling through our Ambassador-led rides. And create dedicated female-specific collections and content, produced by women for women. Why? Because we #lovewomenscycling.
The WMN Hub
Be it safety, accessibility, or product, women’s cycling is, and always has been, a second thought. We are dedicated to making a difference.
Our WMN Hub is your go to space to keep up to date with all things women's cycling.
OUR INITIATIVES.

And into the future we hope, with your help, even more.
