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!

Our 2-hour ride is having a name change, but fear not it's still the same lovely, social ride for women and non-binary folks keen to build their confidence, fitness and knowledge of local cycle routes 🚴‍♀️

I’ve ridden my bike for my whole life, but only recently started taking it on longer journeys. It has opened doors I didn’t know were there.

Learning to ride a bike is amazing. Once you're comfortable cycling you have a reliable and cheap mode of transport, a fabulous way to exercise and a pure mood booster all in one. And believe us - that joy you feel when cycling is something else!

Yet learning or re-learning to cycle as an adult can feel totally daunting. And as adults, we have so many more barriers to getting started compared to children (safety, money, time, caring responsibilities, health restraints and so on). But these barriers can be overcome.

If you are keen to learn to ride this year we would love to support you. We run weekly learn to ride lessons for women and non-binary people starting at our Hub in Govanhill in the southside of Glasgow.

Sessions run on Fridays 10-11am and Saturdays 2.15-3.15pm and will restart next week. Each lesson is pay as you can £1-15 to ensure everyone can take part regardless of their budget (please do get in touch if the £1 minimum charge is a barrier to you!) You can learn more and book your place via our website: https://womenonwheels.org.uk/adult-cycling-lessons-glasgow

We know the hardest part is taking the first step and signing up to a session. If you have any questions, concerns or worries please just drop us a message - we're here to help!

Let's make it happen!🚴‍♀✨💜

Creating safe and comfortable spaces for girls and young women to get on bikes is so important to enable more girls to cycle throughout their teenage years - a period where many stop cycling altogether.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with several schools this year supporting girls and young women to get on bikes. Some have learnt to cycle or boosted their cycling confidence while others have simply connected with peers, enjoyed fresh air and explored more of Glasgow by bike.

A huge thanks to our funders for making it possible. If you would like to support the work we do, please consider donating today. You can do so via the link in our bio. Thank you so much for your support x
