Women on Wheels Hub

Last week we had the pleasure of getting our wonderful team (those that could make it!) together for a potluck dinner 🍽

While our admin team is small, we are incredibly fortunate to have a large team of amazing volunteers and sessional staff who make every single session special and make the hub feel so welcoming and inviting to our community.

This lovely community would be nothing without these awesome women! Thank you - and cheers to supporting many more women to feel the joy of cycling🚴‍♀

It's time for our annual cycle around the lovely Isle of Cumbrae (better known as Millport!) 🏝

We'll get the train from Glasgow to Largs before we hop on the ferry across to Cumbrae with our bikes. On the ferry we'll be on the lookout for dolphins 🐬

As we arrive, we'll go for a fabulous 10 mile loop around the island (with the option of doing a shorter 6 mile route instead). We'll make plenty of stops along the way (ice cream anyone?). If you're feeling brave and the weather is for it, you can go for a dip in the sea (so bring a swimsuit if this takes your fancy!)

The ride is open to women and non binary folks as well as their kids (girls all ages, boys up to 12). It's such a fun day out!🚴‍♀

The trip is pay what you can £20-30 per person and include transport tickets (train, ferry and van for moving bikes), bike hire and ride leaders.

Since getting my bike in August, it's been a journey. At first feeling excited on the road alongside drivers, and then being humbled by a crash, I have been working my way back up to confidence. I love my bike and the freedom it allows me, but I feel it's important to acknowledge that sometimes it feels scary to take up space on our Glasgow roads.

I feel most empowered on my break when I’m wearing the clothes that make me feel myself. When the weather allows (rarely), I put on my bright colours, patterns, and fun coats. I want to embrace that cycling doesn’t have to look dull, so even on rainy days, I wear my bright pink bag with a green ribbon to pep my spirits. I’m excited to gain my confidence back and I hope that the council continues to prioritise the construction of bike lanes within the city.

My name is Holly and I am the Women's Activity Co-ordinator at WoW. I first got properly excited by cycling when I quit my job as a physio at the age of 24 and decided to cycle from the UK to Sweden with my partner. We had rubbish bikes, were not very fit and had no idea what we were doing but the experience changed my life and I still look back on that holiday as some of the best 3 months of my life.

Fast forward and I now work for WoW promoting cycling to women every day and seeing the direct impact that getting on a bike brings - mainly JOY! I have used my bike to cycle around many beautiful places in Scotland and use it regularly to get from A to B. I now have 2 kids and have enjoyed using my bike to get them places quicker and have loved seeing the joy on their faces when they are on the back/front of a bike. I have taken my eldest daughter on a cycle tour in Mull and I hope to take my newest addition and my eldest on a little cycle tour this year too!

Each session is £10 per child. Any questions drop Katherine a message on families@womenonwheels.org.uk
