Victoria O’Reilly

Bute Wheelers chairperson, Bute Community Cycling founder

Victoria fell in love with cycling after trying an Ironman and joined her local club Bute Wheelers, of which she is now the chairperson. Victoria has become central in promoting a thriving cycle culture on the Isle of Bute, organising regular activities as a means of maintaining people’s wellbeing, inspiring others to set and achieve their own challenges.

“I really enjoy organising rides bringing people together, the bonding and connections that happen on the road thrills me to see and to be part of. Cycling has changed my life and at 52 I’m hoping to be cycling for many years to come.”
