About Us
Women on Wheels Scotland is a Community cycling hub for women. It is a service designed and led by women, delivering a range of cycling activities to get women back on a bike, or on to a bike for the first time, and to nurture the peer support and community connectedness that is helping women to keep cycling.
The world of everyday cycling is dominated by a white male demographic. It is much less common for women to cycle for transport and leisure, especially women of colour. We have worked with women for over a decade to understand that they have a number of barriers to cycling, including lack of confidence, lack of access to a bike, being a parent/carer and lacking time/childcare, religious barriers (not allowed, cannot cycle with men, a need to wear certain clothes), cultural barriers, a lack of money to pay for such services, and health; but we know that these barriers are surmountable and that with the proper support women can successfully adopt cycling into their everyday lives.
Our permanent women's cycling hub is providing ongoing support and generating more opportunities for women and their families to get engaged with cycling and reap the benefits.
OUR VISION
Women on Wheels (SCIO) is an all-inclusive community where women cycling is the norm, not the exception, and where every woman feels confident to ride.
OUR MISSION
Women on Wheels empowers and enables women to overcome their barriers to taking up cycling - for transport, to improve their physical and mental health, and most importantly, for the pure joy of it.
The Women’s Activities Coordinator will be responsible for coordinating and delivering cycle training to a wide range of women from our Hub in Govanhill, Glasgow. This will include learning to ride cycle lessons ( group and 1 2 1 ), confidence building led rides, bike buddy and route navigation support, maintenance classes, bike touring programme as well as lots of social events aimed at those looking to start cycling or cycling more regularly. They will also run the bike lending library.
The ability to develop and nurture strong partnerships with community organisations across Glasgow is key to this role.
