Tower Hamlets Women's Cycling
The Tower Hamlets Women's Cycling blog has evolved from the Fieldgate Bike Project, set up by Sarah Hammond in 2011.
Working with women and young people on the Fieldgate Mansions Estate in Whitechapel, East London, the aim of the project was to help them discover the joys of riding a bike and provide cycle training.
The social and physical benefits of cycling have also been a focus, as many women within the community experience isolation, as well as illnesses, such as heart disease and diabetes.
The blog has been set up as a hub where local women, especially Asian, can access information about rides, where to receive training, cycle safety and how to buy a bike. Contributors from the cycling community will also be on hand to respond to questions and comments.
For more information contact: Sarah Hammond or Annabel Leathes.
Wheelers are looking forward to getting involved with the blog project starting with helping to organise a Women's Ride on Sunday, 1 April.
