Cycling is wonderful, and I want as many people as possible to discover its joy. Whilst I’m all for breaking down the barriers that stop anyone from riding, as cycling continues to be a male dominated sport - in 2022, men made almost three times more cycling trips than women - I especially want to encourage more women into the fold.
I’m not, by any means, anti-men. I love men, I’m surrounded by them. I’m lucky enough to have an extremely supportive husband (second time lucky) and two permanently hungry, lanky teenage sons. I do like to be surrounded by women too, though, and I find I get more from myself on the bike in a same sex group.
