Sportive Cycle Coaching supports British Cycling's #OneInaMillion campaign

Written By Andy Tomkins

Sportive Cycle Coaching is going to do its bit to help the British Cycling and Sport England strategy to help get an additional one million women on bikes by 2020. The HSBC UK Breeze programme https://www.letsride.co.uk/breeze is an initiative to address the two main issues that stop more ladies cycling – Confidence and Safety - both of which are tied to Infrastructure (lack of) and Driver behaviour.

It is also a great way for ladies to get (re)involved in cycling and offers a simple search for Routes, Rides, Groups and Buddies in the local area. If these barriers are removed, then statistics indicate that 36% of UK ladies (9,720,000) would like to cycle more regularly. We still won’t be as good as Denmark, where 53% of riders are ladies but at least we’ll be going in the right direction!

How do we plan to help the initiative?

Once a month, we will provide a 100% free bike fitting service for a Northamptonshire lady. All you have to do is provide the name of someone that would benefit from this service.


The bike fitting can either be conducted at your house or place of work - they are all about improving comfort and efficiency as you ride your bike. We won't be trying to turn you in to the next Victoria Pendleton, unless you want us to!
