MEET SOME OF OUR RIDERS
Read / listen to the stories of women who thought they'd never ride a bike...
and, definitely, never ride with confidence and assertiveness
anywhere they wanted to go.
You'll discover - they are no different to you.
They don't ride fast, or (mostly) for sport, they don't wear special clothes -
they come in all shapes and sizes.
The difference is JoyRiders!
Annette's Story
"I'd never cycled. It was amazing! I started with some 1-2-1 Learn to Ride sessions, then went on a ride with JoyRiders."
Salayhar's Story
"My Mum taught me to ride, and I taught my kids. For me riding a bike makes me feel free."
Ashufta's Story
"I hadn't been on a bike for 30 years.
JoyRiders' focus on helping women find confidence riding attracted me
I had such a great time."
Tasnim's Story
"I had severe mobility problems - the encouragement: sisterhood. You feel empowered, loved - you belong!
My crutches are gone!"
Taqia's Story
"When I started I couldn't ride. Now I go by myself - when I'm riding it's like you're flying! It's an amazing group."
Karlina's Story
"I hadn't ridden for 20/30 years. JoyRiders go at our pace. I can ride by myself now - I just take ownership of the road."
Nialla's Story
"I hadn't been on a bike for 30 years and was a bit nervous...but it was just natural."
Susan & the Cargo Bike Tryout
Susan trys riding a two-wheel,
extended e-cargo bike for the fist
time - and loves it!
Baljeet's Story
Baljeet returned to riding after a 20-year break... her word: EXHILARATING
Attiya's Story
A friend introduced me to the group - they were so friendly and welcoming.
I discovered places on my doorstep I hadn't even seen.
Quite a big social thing as well...
Started to realise everything is quite near - and that cycling was faster and cheaper, and I could justify having a cake.
I felt a lot happier - I was ery, very nervous when I first started and that I'd be holding up the whole group...but that wasn't an issue.
After a bit I started riding with my family
