JoyRiders Britain

JoyRiders help women discover the joy and freedom of riding a bike… JoyRiders don’t cycle for sport, we ride for fun!

JoyRiders empowers women who don't currently ride but would like to start or return to riding. We offer friendly and inclusive social rides to support women who are nervous about riding on the roads.

MISSION: Our goal is to change Britain’s cycling equation. From 70% of regular riders being men, to at least 50:50 women and men

VISION: We live in a world where everyone feels able to choose cycling as their main way of getting around

Come join us on a ride in London, Cambridge, Manchester or Oxford. Meet our friendly ride leaders and other women like you!

So far JoyRiders have helped 1000s of women to do this and we want to help tens of 1000s more.

Do you want to support and inspire other women to go outside their comfort zone?
We can train you to be a Ride Leader if you want to join us as a volunteer.

Many perceived barriers prevent women from getting on a bike:
🚲 50% think the roads are too dangerous, or they lack the confidence
🚲 30% do not own a bike, or have anywhere to store one
🚲 At least one in ten are worried they will be laughed at – for being the ‘wrong’ shape, wearing the ‘wrong’ things
🚲 A third don’t know anyone to ride with, or don’t know how to find routes

Many of our participants and ride leaders were (and are) just like them.

Our rides start at true Beginner level – short, social, stop/start slow rides to a spot for coffee and cake, then back again…covering 5 miles over 2 hours if we’re lucky. We step up the distance – and (marginally) the speed – on Beginner+, and Intermediate rides, then – when and if our participants want to – onto Commuter and more Advanced rides.

Come join us and find a route that is right for you!
