I most enjoy volunteering at the Brighton Multicultural Women Cycle Club sharing the fun, freedom and connection that cycling brings to all of us, The BMWs! We are women from diverse ethnic backgrounds WHO CAN!

The BMWS’s fun and friendly sessions gather migrant women, with roots more or less established in Brighton & Hove, to learn to cycle and develop confidence in cycling. At BMWs it is not only about BEING confident in cycling but FEELING confident. The shared feelings among the BMWs women, like stamina, empathy, love, and concern, are a powerful collective strength. This strength is rooted in emotional depth and can be a guiding force for our personal growth and building supportive, resilient communities everywhere, where we come from and where we go or live after our cycling sessions.

Inspired by the stamina of these amazing BMWs women I am now becoming qualified as a BikeAbility Instructor, so I can be equipped with the appropriate educational tools to better teach and empower them to enjoy the freedom of cycling, as I do in my daily and sportive life.

With weekly training sessions and regular group rides, new members and volunteers are always welcome at BMWs. GoodGym has already planned a community mission to buddy BMWs women to ride confidently to Lewes for the Bonfire night!
