Scottish Cycling North East

✨ Got a girl aged 12–16 in your life?
Or maybe you teach, coach, or work with lots of girls in that age group 👀

Scottish Cycling are looking for girls to fill in our survey and welcome parents and carers of girls to join our spond group.

Who is this for any girls either are or aren’t necessarily already in cycling clubs but who:

• 🚲 Enjoy riding a bike (even just a little!)
• 💬 Want to have their say in shaping a new programme

It’s a chance for them to influence what cycling looks like for young women in Scotland — and to make sure their voices are heard.

Girls A’LOUD: Get Ready to Ride in 2026 – Scottish Cycling Last year we piloted a programme for girls aged 12–16 – a crucial stage in the development of young cyclists and a time when many girls drop out of sport. We’re bringing it back for 2026 and are seeking feedback from potential participants to help shape what the sessions should include.

Calling any experienced coaches that would like to get paid for their skills.

Lisa @ Performance Sport Services / Leisure and Culture Dundee is looking for coaches to help with their vision of getting more youths on bikes. A series of programs are being looked at to cover the riders starting out on their Cycling journey with

3 – 4 years Play Together on Pedals

through to

11+ years Junior performance sessions.

The sessions will hopefully lead to more club members in the area and boost the already increasing participation numbers.
