Cycle Sisters is a thriving Muslim women’s cycling group, based in London, and is affiliated to Cycling UK. We offer safe and culturally appropriate cycling opportunities for Muslim women.

We work to address the inequalities in cycling by ensuring that the needs of Muslim women are understood and met. Levels of cycling in the UK are low with the majority of journeys being undertaken by men. Women – and particularly those from minority backgrounds – experience many barriers to cycling and are less likely to see cycling as an option for themselves and their families. We even offer a limited number of bikes, available to hire, for those who don’t own a bike.

Our Muslim women’s cycle groups provide support and role models, while our partnership work with local and national cycling organisations helps to tackle stereotypes and make cycling more inclusive and diverse. Our longer-term goal is to grow into a nationwide network of Muslim women cyclists, ensuring that Muslim women cyclists have a voice on a national level.

Cycle Sisters has won a number of awards including Cycling UK’s Best Cycling Programme 2019 and London Cycling Campaign’s Best Ride and Ride Leader 2019.
