I’m excited for Bike Week and to celebrate this past year of growth in my active transportation journey I’ve decided to organize a group ride.
If you’ve been following my YoutTube channel, you’ll understand how empowering it is to ride a bike. Did you know that the history of women’s rights has been intrinsically tied to bicycles?
I read an article that in 1895, at the age of 80, suffragist leader Elizabeth Stanton claimed that “the bicycle will inspire women with more courage, self-respect and self-reliance…” Stanton predicted the power of the bicycle in transforming the lives of women, realizing that the independence women were gaining because of this invention would allow for growth in other areas of their character.
From the early days of the suffragette movement to the modern day mom’s taking their kids to school on cargo bikes, this mode of transportation has been crucial to our personal empowerment.
And that’s why I want to celebrate women of all kinds with this ride.
So if you’re a woman, or you identify as a woman OR you simply support the women in your life, then you’re invited to join us.
This will be happening on Saturday, June 10 at 2pm, rain or shine. We will be meeting at 1:30 on the North side of the Cargo Bar, at Assiniboine Park by the Duck Pond. The ride will be approximately 13 Kms and it should take about an hour, at a fairly chill pace.
The route will consist of some protected paths through the park, then the Harte trail and then some pretty calm streets.
The real question is, what are you gonna wear?
If you know me, considering it’s not -30 out there, I’ll probably be wearing a dress, but you can wear a dress, you can wear shorts or pants or even your cycling spandex! Just come on out!
We will not be providing bikes for this ride, so it’s BYOB - Bring your own bike!
After the ride, stick around to meet everyone and have some bevvies at the Cargo Bar.
Please fill out the form in the description just so I have an idea how many people to expect.
And if you can’t make this ride, don’t worry, just watch this space for more group rides coming soon!
