Start a women’s cycling group in your area

We’re inviting community organisations and networks that work with Muslim women to partner with us to set up new, locally led women’s cycling groups outside London.​​​

​

​

Who we’re looking to partner with

​

We’re looking for organisations who have a combination of the following:
 

  • An established network of Muslim women in their local area who would be interested in joining a cycling group
     

  • Several women who are confident cyclists and have volunteer capacity to set up and run the group, and train as Ride Leaders
     

  • A wider pool of women who may be interested in becoming Ride Leaders
     

  • A constituted organisation - this isn’t essential, and we may be able to work around this or support you to put the appropriate set-up in place
     

  • A commitment to creating an inclusive space for Muslim women of all backgrounds and a welcoming approach to women from other backgrounds

Location focus

​

We’ll initially be prioritising partnerships in areas closer to London, such as:
 

  • Berkshire

  • Hertfordshire

  • Bedfordshire

  • Essex

  • Kent

  • Surrey and neighbouring counties
     

We also welcome expressions of interest from organisations in other parts of the UK for future phases.

I’ve been wanting to set up a cycle
group in my area for a long time but just didn't know how to go about it. 
I'm so grateful for the wonderful support I've received from Cycle Sisters, introducing me to the right people and helping me every step of the way.
