Women

Women are an integral part of Marlow Riders. Not only do we make up nearly 30% of the club but we are involved at every level of the organisation. The club has at its heart the interest of all the members which we believe helps create the friendly community spirit we are so proud of. The phrase “it’s not just about the bike” is true and the opportunity to meet like minded people who want to take care of their health and also enjoy themselves is very much the ethos of Marlow Riders.

Cycling in a group is the safest way to cycle on our busy roads. This is particularly true for women. Cycling in a group does require some skills, and we are very happy to give coaching sessions separately and whilst during our club rides. There is always a ride leader, who is trained to help individuals and ensure the group rides safely. Vehicles take less risks passing a group of riders and we are far more visible to other road users. If there is a problem during the ride, there are fellow riders to help in the best way possible. There are many riders who have years of experience that are happy to assist. No one is left behind.

The club is not about competing but about participating in a healthy activity both physically and mentally, inclusive of every shape, size and ability, you just need to be able to ride 20 miles at an average speed of …….  We even welcome e-bikes. You have nothing to loose so why not come along and take a look at what we have to offer, you maybe pleasantly surprised. Cycling may just become a new passion.
