JoyRiders Britain

JOYRIDERS help women discover the joy and freedom of riding a bike… JoyRiders don’t cycle for sport, we ride for fun! MISSION: Our goal is to change Britain’s cycling equation. From 70% of regular riders being men, to at least 50:50 women and men VISION: We live in a world where everyone feels able to choose cycling as their main way of getting around JoyRiders empowers women who don't currently ride but would like to start or return to riding. We offer friendly and inclusive social rides to support women who are nervous about riding on the roads. Come join us for a ride in London, Cambridge, Manchester or Oxford. Meet our friendly ride leaders and other women like you! Many perceived barriers prevent women from getting on a bike: > 50% think the roads are too dangerous, or they lack the confidence > 30% do not own a bike, or anywhere to store one > at least one in ten are worried they will be laughed at – for being the ‘wrong’ shape, wearing the ‘wrong’ things > a third don’t know anyone to ride with, or don’t know how to find routes. Many of our participants and ride leaders were (and are) just like them. But once they get riding, they never look back! Are you a woman who loves riding? Do you want to support and inspire other women to go outside their comfort zone? **We can train you to be a Ride Leader if you want to join us as a volunteer.** Find out more and develop REAL leadership skills here: https://www.joyriders.org.uk/volunteerwithus
