On Saturday 13 August Women on Wheels are holding a free cycle festival between 9am and 9pm for women ( in all their diverse forms).

For too long women have been under-represented in cycling and we're here to change that. We are Community Cycling Hub based in Govanhill, for women, designed and led by women.

In Queens Park ( Victoria road entrance) we will have the following from 9am for women:

• Hourly group cycle lessons ( Bike and equipment provided)

• Confidence Building led rides leaving every 1.5 hours ( Bikes and equipment provided)

• Dr Bike to help look over your trusty steed from 10.30 am

• Info stall

• Bling your bike

• Arts and crafts (open to all)

Also from 9.30am at our Women on Wheels Hub we will have maintenance classes running every hour covering m-checks and simple roadside repairs till 6.30 pm.

Location: Govanhill Workspace, Unit 4, 69 Dixon Road, G42 8AT ( enter via car park)

The day will culminate in a celebration at our Hub between 7 am and 9 pm with a film screening, and an inspirational talk by Aneela McKenna over some food and refreshments.

It doesn't matter if you are a cyclist or have never ridden a bike - come and join us and spread the word.

Extra info: No need to book - all activities are free and drop in.
