Saudi Arabia hosted the first ever women’s bicycle race last week. It’s so inspiring to see the work being done to encourage more women riding bikes, despite some of the controversy that has come from the public who thinks women shouldn’t ride. Keep standing up for what you believe in ladies, you are brave and courageous! #womenscycling #womeninsport #Repost @jeddah_woman with @get_repost ・・・ - نبارك للفائزات بالمراكز الأولى🎉🎊 🥇 المركز الأول / أروى العمودي - 🥈 المركز الثاني / منال الخطيب - 🥉 المركز الثالث / نديمة أبوالعينين
“If we do not stand up for ourselves, nobody will.” Tahira rides in Bamiyan and she is a constant source of inspiration for us. Who inspires you to stand up and take action? #afghancycles #afghanistan #womenscycling #womensrights
Friday inspiration in the form of Annie “Londonderry” Cohen Kopchovsky, who in the late 1800s became the first woman to bicycle around the world. “I am a journalist and a ‘new woman,’ if that term means that I believe I can do anything that any man can do,” she later wrote, challenging the gender norms of her time. Here’s to being able to do what you want to do, living (and riding) on your own terms.

Our director @sarmenzies is featured on the @she_explores podcast this week. If you want to hear a little bit about what making this film has involved, and the drive behind Sarah’s vision as a storyteller, give it a listen! #afghancycles #filmmaking #sheexplores
“The world is wide, and I will not waste my life in friction when it could be turned into momentum.” - Frances Willard. Born in 1839, Frances was a suffragette who learned to ride a bike in her 50s. She wrote a book about the experience, “A Wheel Within a Wheel: How I Learned to Ride the Bicycle, With Some Reflections by the Way,” published in 1895. Today, we still take inspiration from her concept of momentum, and the knowledge that all women can benefit from the freeing experience of riding a bicycle. 📸 @jennygnichols #afghancycles #womenscycling
