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
