Volunteer with us
Cycle Sisters’ Ride Leaders are the heart and soul of our Muslim women’s cycle groups.
Our volunteer Ride Leaders do so much more than just navigate on rides - they are cycling role models who inspire and support Muslim women to cycle. Ride Leaders create a safe environment to help make cycling more accessible, enabling sisters to try cycling and have fun!
Being a Ride Leader with Cycle Sisters is a great way to develop your cycling skills, make new friends and be part of a growing network of Cycle Sisters volunteer Ride Leaders around London who help achieve life-changing outcomes for hundreds of Muslim women.
“It's been lovely to learn from the Ride Leaders. Understanding how they got to where they are has helped inspire me and imagine the possibility of getting as good as them”
