Women on Wheels Hub

Women on Wheels Hub Women on Wheels (SCIO) is a community cycling hub for women. The world of everyday cycling is dominated by a white male demographic.

A service designed and led by women, we deliver a range of cycling activities to get women back on a bike or onto a bike for the very first time. It is much less common for women to cycling for transport and leisure, especially women of colour. Our mission is to empower and enable women to overcome their barriers to take up cycling - for transport, to improve their physical and mental health, and most importantly, for the pure joy of it!

“I didn’t really mean to be a cycle trainer, I just wanted to learn how to fix my bicycle”

Ever wondered how our brilliant mechanic Mhairi got into bike maintenance? The answer may not be what you expected 😊

Mhairi knows what it’s like to be a beginner in a room full of experts - and frankly, we think that’s one of the many reasons why she’s a fabulous instructor.

We run weekly bike maintenance classes for beginners on Thursdays 6.15-8.45pm. There are five different sessions covering key basic bike maintenance skills such as fixing a puncture, adjusting gears and fitting cables, emergency roadside repairs and more. We are also running a 4-week intermediate course in October, where participants learn how to take a bike apart and put it back together. All sessions are led by Mhairi so you know you’ll be in safe hands! If interested in any of these, head to the link in our bio 🔗

If you find yourself in that in between stage, where you know how to ride a bike but lack confidence to fully enjoy riding, our Confidence Building Cycling Skills Sessions are designed just for you. We practice in traffic free areas and get comfortable with small hills, gears, turns (also those that are a little tighter) and everything in between. It’s a friendly, supportive environment for women and non-binary folks aged 16+. Our next session is this Saturday 12-1.30pm. Head to the link in our bio to book your place 🔗🚴‍♀️

When plan A doesn't work out 🌧🚵‍♀️

Last Wednesday the plan had been to head to Pollok Park for some awesome mountain biking. However, with the weather being far from favourable we opted for a trip to Queens Park instead.

We started practicing skills to get comfortable with the bikes before trying out some of the muddy trails. All of the group did amazing and tackled some tricky downhill sections. Half the group even tried a long downhill section from the flagpole which was exhilarating!

It was one of those evenings where you could easily have curled up inside, but we went out and had a tonne of fun instead. Never let the weather hold you back! (Unless it's actually dangerous out there in which case please do!) Well done to everyone who came along - you smashed it!

If you would also like to give mountain biking a go, we've got a day trip to Balfron coming up on Sunday 4 October, 9am-4pm. It's a coached session perfect for beginners and intermediates. You learn all the basics before practicing skills and drills and cycling around some truly stunning trails. It's such a fun day out!

If you fancy coming along, head to Plinth to book: https://book.plinth.org.uk/e/IFZQVutMfvUZrgEhIRkW

When you don't know how to ride a bike how are you supposed to teach your child?

This is a scenario many - mums in particular - face. Sadly, Bikeability in school doesn't support kids who don't already know how to ride a bike - that's where our families programme can support you instead.

Learn more about how Anna learnt how to cycle and inspired her mum Fiona to learn too 👇

We offer the following sessions to support you:

Kids cycling lessons (girls and non-binary kids), Saturdays 9.30-10.30am.
Suitable for girls and non-binary kids aged 5-12 years of age who would either like to learn to ride a bike or build their confidence cycling. It's a super friendly and nurturing environment. Book one or more sessions to fit around kids birthday parties and other commitments. The session starts at our Hub in Govanhill.

Family cycling sessions, Saturdays 10.45-11.45am and 3.30-4.30pm. These sessions are bespoke to your family only. Whether you or your children are learning to ride or you want to build your confidence cycling with your kids (including with child carrying equipment) we can help you. The sessions are suitable for mums/carers and their kids (girls and non-binary kids of all ages, boys up to 12). Book one or more sessions. The session starts at our Hub in Govanhill.

We also host a balance bike group on Thursday mornings 10-11am in Queens Park. It's perfect to help the littlest ones get started on bikes. Suitable for all children who can confidently walk aged 1-5.

If you have any questions about our families programme, please email Katherine on [email protected].
