What the charity does

Cycle Sisters aims to inspire and enable Muslim women to cycle. Our groups provide support, role models and regular opportunities for Muslim women to cycle. We currently operate in London; our longer-term goal is to grow into a nation- wide network of Muslim women cyclists. Our partnership work with local and national cycling organisations tackles stereotypes to make cycling more inclusive.
