Helping Asian women learn to ride safely, confidently and together
Many adults want to cycle, but learning to ride safely later in life can feel intimidating. For Asian women, there can be extra barriers: lack of confidence, language barriers, cultural hesitation, safety concerns, and not feeling like cycling spaces are made for us.
Female Asian Cycling Club
This pilot program creates a safe, supportive and welcoming cycling culture for Asian women. We will bring together 6 to 12 Asian female learners to build confidence, learn practical cycling skills, understand road safety, and experience the joy of riding together.
