Women On Wheels SCIO

Women on Wheels (SCIO) is a Glasgow based community cycling hub for women, girls and non-binary people. A service designed and led by women, we deliver a range of cycling activities to get women, girls and non-binary people back on a bike or onto a bike for the very first time. 

Our mission is to empower and enable women, girls and non-binary people to overcome their barriers to take up cycling - for transport, to improve their physical and mental health, and most importantly, for the pure joy of it!

Join us for a cosy evening in the Women on Wheels hub where we'll get our craft on. We're thinking banners, sashes, hi-vis accessories and more for ourselves and our bikes... maybe sparkly handlebar tassels? Whether you're coming to Ride Bright on 7th November or just fancy crafting with us, come along. We'll provide craft materials and refreshments, please do bring craft materials along with you if you have them. The brighter and shinier, the better!

We're excited to launch our new Kids Learn to Cycle Lessons! These sessions are specially designed for&nbsp;girls and non-binary children aged 5 -12&nbsp;who want to learn to ride a bike or build their confidence cycling. Just like our supportive adult lessons, these classes are friendly, patient, and totally judgement-free. Our experienced instructors will guide them step-by-step in a safe, encouraging environment. You can borrow a bike and helmet from our hub, or bring your own. Parents can either come with the group during the lesson or pop out for some me-time for the hour and then come back to pick your child up. Any questions before booking, contact Katherine at families@womenonwheels.org.uk or call Why this session existsOur Kids Learn to Ride (Girls &amp; Non-binary) sessions are designed to create a welcoming, supportive environment where children who may feel less confident or less represented in mixed-gender activities can develop cycling skills at their own pace. These sessions aim to reduce barriers to participation, build confidence, encourage physical activity, and help children develop independence and a lifelong enjoyment of cycling. We recognise that some children feel more comfortable learning in a group of peers with similar experiences, and these sessions are intended to provide that opportunity in a positive, respectful and encouraging setting. Our instructors focus on creating a safe, inclusive and non-judgemental environment where every participant is treated with dignity and respect. All our sessions are offered on a pay as you can basis. Choose the ticket price that suits your budget.
