Joyriders

joyriders provide a ‘rite of passage’ for women who would like to start / return to riding. many perceived barriers prevent women from getting on a bike:  50% think the roads are too dangerous, or they lack the confidence  30% do not own a bike  at least one in ten are worried they will be laughed at – for being the ‘wrong’ shape, wearing the ‘wrong’ things  a third don’t know anyone to ride with, or don’t know how to find routes joyriders reach out into community, faith, women’s, and employer groups and organisations – finding and speaking to women. we want to let them know - joyriders don’t cycle, we ride! many of our participants and ride leaders were (and are) just like them. joyriders help women discover the joy and freedom of riding… our rides start at true beginner level – short, social, stop/start slow rides to a spot for coffee and cake, then back again…covering 5 miles over 2 hours if we’re lucky. they step up to intermediate, and advanced - when you're ready!
