"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I may remember. Involve me and I learn."

Forming part of a series of events for Road Safety Week that will cover a series of topics that address what we can do to make roads safer – both in “real terms” like Cycling UK’s campaigning and policy work for infrastructure and changes to the Highway Code, and in the perception of safety, by building and developing confidence in individuals so more people choose to cycle.

Fundamentally, cycling is a ‘safe’ activity and transport choice, with overwhelming evidence to prove this, but sometimes there is a feeling from non-cyclists that it is not so. Cycling UK believes that to tackle that perception and get more people cycling to work we need a step change in the way roads are designed, and to examine the role that we can all have in shaping this future.  

It's back! Season two of Bants, Bikes & Being Female continues with our group of expert guests discussing everything you need to know to keep riding through the winter.

One of the most popular topics we get asked about is on planning routes. Where to go? What apps to use? How to follow them? Disappointing dead-ends and sneaky hills are no longer a threat with a few minutes of prep. Our panellists will be taking you with them on a journey of mistakes made and challenges overcome, be it for 5 miles or 5,000 miles.

TIME AND DATE

This webinar, with a focus on Northern Ireland, will explore how we can help reduce the perceived fear of cycling on the roads, and what support women need to make more journeys by bike. By deconstructing negative perceptions of cycling safety, talking about confidence building for cycling on the road, and discussing actions we can take in our communities, we can enable more women to cycle on the roads and realise wider economic benefits.

It's back! Season two of Bants, Bikes and Being Female kicks off on Friday 13 November with our core group of guests discussing everything you need to know to keep riding through the winter.

Thousands of women started cycling this summer during the sunny confines of lockdown. Now our experts are here to help light the way for anyone wanting to continue in the darker, colder months ahead. From what to wear, to beware of the invisible ice, the return of our panel show is set to be enlightening and entertaining.
