In an extraordinary collaboration between Dope Nerds, and celebrity artist Robert Hansen, The Baltimore Times presents a groundbreaking and immersive exhibition experience during the Maryland Cycling Classic weekend. ”Pedals of Resilience: A Journey of Triumph,” a pop-up exhibition, will be open September 1-3, 2023, beginning at 12 p.m. at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor Light Street Pavilion.

The exhibition is a celebration of the rich history of Black cyclists, presenting their stories through the lens of technology and interactivity. This ambitious endeavor aims to illuminate the struggles, triumphs and contributions of Black cyclists throughout history while fostering a more inclusive cycling culture.

At the heart of this exhibit lies a profound purpose – to tell the story of Black cyclists across the ages, chronicling their journey of resilience and triumph. By merging the creative energies of a local media newsroom and a Baltimore-based technology company, the immersive experience merges storytelling and technology into a seamless fusion. This endeavor is not just a passive display; it’s an interactive journey that transports participants through time, tracing the legacy of Black cyclists from 1899 to the present day.
