JOIN THE RIDE. JOIN THE CONVERSATION.

15 Locations + 
No corner of the real or digital world will be left unridden in our quest to raise awareness of Men’s Mental Illness. Each worldwide location will take part in a specially designed 200km Man Ride. Not near a location? In 2018, we’ve partnered with Zwift to make it possible to Join the Ride wherever you are in the world.
One Cause. We don’t want your donation. We want you to use the power of the bike and the significance of your local community to help promote change.
To carry the conversation about Men’s Mental Illness as far as possible, we’ve partnered with Zwift. Black Sheep will host a digital Man Ride Day in three time zones on October 7 as well training rides leading up to that main event.

Fifty per cent of men have had a mental problem at some point in their life. One in eight men suffer from depression. One in five men suffer from anxiety. Eight people die from suicide every day. Five of those are men. Men are four times more likely to die from suicide than women. Working men aged 25 – 54 account for the largest number.
The Man Ride is unashamedly all about the Man. Raising awareness for a subject that is treated like a dark secret and shining a light on the growing rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide. The purpose of the Man Ride is simple. It’s for the people we care about. It’s for every single man in the community. Young men. Old men. New fathers. Old fathers. High Achieving Men. Men in rural and remote areas. Unemployed men. Men with illness. The rates of depression amongst men are tragically high and ever increasing. This issue can no longer be hidden away. We are lending our voice and influence, and hope you will too.
The Chaos Collection, a special release by Black Sheep, will once again commemorate the Man Ride. The CHAOS COLLECTION 2.0 builds on the theme of the previous edition kit, introducing colour to portray positivity while still representing a chaotic mind.
