Train a Cycle Instructor
Lessons are delivered by female Muslim instructors, creating an inclusive learning environment where Muslim women
can feel comfortable.
All Cycle Instructors must undergo First Aid training, so if there are any accidents during a lesson, they are there to help.
Contributing to training Muslim women as Cycle Instructors transforms an individual's life and makes cycling more inclusive for Muslim women.
It’s never too late to learn!
“They helped me to cycle - as a full grown adult it can be embarrassing to get up and learn. No judgement, lots of patience and kindness, and guess what - I can now pedal and balance!” Rabia
There are stark inequalities in access to cycling and physical activity, particularly among women. 73% of women never ride a bike and only 11% of ethnic minority groups cycle regularly.
Muslim women may face barriers such as a lack of confidence or skills, little to no representation or experiences of racism and Islamophobia. Additionally, some women might have missed out on the chance to learn to cycle during their childhood, but it’s never too late!
An investment in healthier communities
Cycle Sisters' lessons are delivered by female Muslim instructors. This creates a supportive and inclusive learning environment where women see themselves represented and know their needs will be met. Through Cycle Sisters, women of all backgrounds and ages have learnt to ride a bike.

“Exercise was never part of my upbringing and the thought of riding in the community scared me." Sana
