A 3-week block to boost your cycling confidence 🚴‍♀

We are pleased to bring back another block starting Friday 14 August. This is a fabulous opportunity for those who already know how to ride a bike, but are feeling wobbly, lacking confidence or want to work on specific skills.

The block will be tailored to the small group of participants so everyone gets the most out of the sessions. However, the rough plan for the sessions is as follows:

🔸 Week 1 - Off road cycle skills in nearby park (Getting on and off the bike safely, signalling, turning, braking, gears and looking over your shoulder whilst cycling)

🔸Week 2 - Cycling skills in practice - using quiet residential streets we will practice gears, signalling, cycling with others and where to cycle on the roads

🔸Week 3 - Cycling skills in practice - using quiet roads we will progress previously learnt skills and look at rules of the road and how to cycle on very quiet roads/in low traffic

The cycling skills and confidence block is open to women and non-binary folks aged 16+ and the whole block is pay as you can £30-75 (£10-25 per session).

As spaces are limited we recommend booking as soon as you can via Plinth: https://book.plinth.org.uk/e/t3wX28iDWA69jadaYge1

If you have questions drop us a dm or email Holly on [email protected]

Less than a week till our brilliant volunteer Ailsa takes on the mammoth challenge of completing the Outlaw Original - a full on Iron (wo)man! 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile cycle and 26.2 mile run - brutal!

To top it all off Ailsa is raising funds for Scottish Charity Air Ambulance and ourselves. If you're able to, go support her here: https://www.goodhub.com/go/do-something-difficult-project-244054

Please note the admin fee is optional, you can change it to zero!

Thanks team x

Want to take your bike maintenance skills to the next level? Ever dreamt about building a bike from scratch?🔧🚲

That's exactly what we'll be learning at our Intermediate Bike Maintenance Course led by the brilliant Mhairi. We'll strip back the bikes (don't worry, not yours - ours!) and over the 4-weeks we'll learn how to put them back together.

The course runs over four Sundays in August: 2/8, 9/8, 16/8 and 23/8 from 4-6.30pm. You must be able to attend all sessions to take part in the course.

Four new pedallers and a bunch of happy kids on bikes. We couldn't have asked for a better start to this year's summer holiday cycling club!💜

We started the morning with some fun and games at our hub. Then we got kitted out with bikes and helmets and off we went to the training area. Some kids went off to play some fun cycling games while another group got practicing on pedals. Everyone did super well!

We also made plenty of time for hydration (so needed in this heat!) and snack breaks. We chatted, laughed and made new friends.

All in all a fabulous morning out!☀🚴‍♀

There are two spaces left for our kids club next week. The following session is fully booked, but there are still quite a few spaces left on the session on the 5 August. Find out more and book here: https://womenonwheels.org.uk/summer-holidays-cycling-club

In your 60th year on this planet, what goal would/did you set for yourselves?

An iron (wo)man, perhaps? You know just a casual 2.4 miles of swimming, 112 miles of cycling and running a marathon to finish (yes, our legs feel tired just at the thought of it!)

Nevertheless, that's the goal for our incredible volunteer Ailsa. On Sunday 26 July, she will be racing the Outlaw Original in Nottingham. And if doing an iron (wo)man wasn't enough, she's raising money for Scottish Charity Air Ambulance and ourselves. What a legend!

Send her some love and good luck and if you're able to, please consider donating to her fundraiser: https://www.goodhub.com/go/do-something-difficult-project-244054
