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!

Cycling Storytelling Supper at Women on WheelsWe thought it would be nice to bring women together in our cosy WoW hub to enjoy the connections between storytelling, poetry, and the joy of cycling - plus some warm, delicious food. Cycling creates deep connections in our community, and this feels like the perfect moment to gather, share a meal, and share some words. Bring yourself and a dish to share - and if you’d like to read something or show a wee film, brilliant. If you’d rather just come along, eat, meet others, and swap stories, that’s fine too. We’ll set up a big table for a shared veggie dish (please no nuts). Think fairy lights and cosy vibes!
