Would you like to enhance your bike riding skills and build your confidence on two wheels? We are excited to offer our Her Ride program again, a fantastic initiative by Bicycle Queensland and proudly supported by the Queensland Government, to help women take their bike riding to the next level.
Unleash Your Potential on the Road!
Our program offers 9 skills development sessions over 4 weeks, starting Sunday 25 May and concluding on 22 June 2025. Lead by experienced coaches, you’ll learn essential techniques such as bike maintenance, bunch etiquette, group riding, road riding, climbing, and more. This Her Ride session will be based in Brisbane, with Sunday afternoon sessions and Wednesday mornings.
Empower Yourself with Every Pedal!
Don’t worry if you’re a bit rusty or haven’t ridden in a while; the first session will assess your skills and group you accordingly.
Spread the word
Your friends won’t know what they’re missing! Do you have a friend who needs the extra confidence boost to get them out with you and enjoy the health benefits of social cycling? Encourage them to join the program too. They won’t regret the experience.
