We Run on Volunteer Power!

Women empowering women - through cycling

JoyRiders run 100s of rides every year - engaging 1000s of women.

This only happens because we have a friendly, sociable bunch

of hard-working volunteers.

Women joining our rides feel safe and looked after - because JoyRiders' provide comprehensive Ride Leader Training for all ride leaders and backstops.  See below for more info on this.

To run just one ride our leaders have to:

• create, recce and risk assess the route...
• find two ride leaders volunteer to lead at a day / time
• look after all participants on every ride

In 2022 alone, JoyRiders ran 500+ ride events in 4 cities for 4000+ participants.

Help us reach even more women!

Become a Ride Leader!

There is no such thing as an accredited Ride Leader qualification in the UK. 

JoyRiders have developed Ride Leader cycle skills, on-road training and mentoring, basic bike maintenance (optional) and first aid training combined with a six-module online program which ensures our Ride Leaders are equipped and qualified for every eventuality - with a Certificate to prove it!

Our Volunteer Policy

We recognise volunteers as an integral part of JoyRiders. Their contribution supports our mission and strategic aims and complements paid roles.  We aim to encourage and support volunteer involvement to ensure that volunteering benefits all.
