Everything Will Be Noble is a feminist publication, focused on sustainable adventuring. Keeping things low-impact and easy on the carbon footprint often requires use of a bicycle- a wonderful, often rad tool for delving further into areas and having new experiences. Unfortunately cycling, as a culture, is still dominated by men, and much of the rhetoric and lifestyle is exclusionary or off-putting to women and non-binary riders.

Route Feminent is our open invitation for women and non-binary adventure-minded contributors. A play on the French term "Route Permanent," referring to long-distance cycling routes that can be ridden at any time, the Route Feminent stickers are reminiscent of the ID stickers found on professional cyclists' bikes-- but these ID you as an advocate for a more inclusive, accessible sport. Because being a proud, supportive feminist is more than just sporting a cool sticker on your bike, all of the proceeds from the sticker packs directly support adventures for women and non-binary riders.
