EMPOWERING WOMEN TO RIDE THEIR BIKE IN THE CITY OF NICOSIA
WHY SUPPORTING CYCLING?
We believe in the power of bicycling – not only as a healthy and sustainable mode of transportation, but also as a symbol of freedom and safe and inclusive communities!
WHY SUPPORTING WOMEN?
In the previous century the bicycle was an instrument of liberation for women. It provided easy access to places and freedom from insular domestic realms. Today, many women still don’t know how to ride a bicycle or that they want to bicycle more but they don’t feel comfortable cycling in urban environments. These workshops aim to identify the different needs and concerns of women when it comes to riding a bike and to empower them to reclaim their place on the street and their right to move safely and sustainably.

*Who are we looking for?
The training is open for women from both sides of Nicosia who know how to ride a bicycle in a protected environment (for example in a park) but want to get more comfortable in cycling in a road context.
This series of workshops is ideal for women who live, work or love to hang out in the centre of Nicosia and aims to help more women in our city to gain confidence in bicycling. We will be cycling on both sides, North and South of Nicosia.
