About Women on Wheels
Women on Wheels is a women, girls and non-binary people cycling charity based in the heart of Govanhill, Glasgow. We encourage and support women, girls and non-binary people to learn how to cycle more confidently and safely. We strive to make cycling more accessible and inclusive to all women, girls and non-binary people, particularly those overcoming barriers such as lack of confidence, limited access to resources relating to cycling and safety concerns. We cater to all abilities and provide a variety of different skill-set sessions for both women and families. We are dedicated to supporting all women to learn to cycle, and as we grow, we’re looking for leaders who share our vision and want to help guide our organisation toward a brighter future.
