International Women's Day  Intermediate ride  Andover estate > Battersea !

JoyRiders Britain empower women through introducing them to the joy, freedom and sheer utility (#fastercheaperhealthier) of cycling.JoyRiders are not a cycling club – and they are not seeking to provide rides for women who already ride a bike.Instead, JoyRiders provide a ‘Rite of Passage’ for the 30% of women who – although they do not currently ride a bike regularly, if at all – say they would like to.  Many perceived barriers have prevented these – literally millions – of women from getting on a bike:50% think the roads are too dangerous, or they lack the confidence;30% do not own a bike;At least one in ten are worried they will be laughed at – for being the ‘wrong’ shape, wearing the ‘wrong’ things…A third don’t know anyone to ride with, or don’t know how to find routes.JoyRiders reach out into community, faith, women’s, parents, school and employer groups and organisations – finding and speaking to these women.  We want to let them know - JoyRiders don’t cycle, we ride!  Many of our participants and ride leaders were (and are) just like them.Our rides start at true Beginner level – short, social, stop/start slow rides to a spot for coffee and cake, then back again…covering 5 miles over 2 hours if we’re lucky.We step up the distance – and (marginally) the speed – on Beginner+, and Intermediate rides, then – when and if our participants want to – onto Commuter and more Advanced rides.Our aim is for participants to ride independently.  So far JoyRiders have helped 1000s of women to do this and we want to help at least tens of 1000s more.

Intermediate ride for women from Andover Estate to meet several other Joy Riders groups in Battersea Park

Andover Estate

Camden / Islington

We are one of the many happy JoyRider groups in the UK! We usually start in Fitzrovia, where you can borrow a bike for free; some rides start in different locations. Come along and cycle in the safety of a friendly  group!

This ride is for confident riders; it is intermediate as it's about 30 km total so you'll need to be able to last the course fairly comfortably !We will be meeting at the Islington Joy Riders bike store at 307 Wesley Close on the Andover Estate and will set off at 1000 sharp.From the bike store, we will ride across Islington and Camden making our way down through Westminster to the river. We will be meeting the Camden and other Joy Rider groups for coffee and chat at Battersea Park to celebrate International Women's Day together before heading back to Andover Estate. We are aiming to be back by 1300h.If you want to borrow a bike, please book a 'borrow a bike' ticket. Please arrive by 0945h latest so there is time to adjust the bike and set off on time.Please bring with you:<ul><li>A helmet if you wish to wear one (a few are available to borrow)</li><li>Gloves</li><li>Water and snacks</li><li>Money/card if you wish to buy snacks</li><li>Spare inner tube for your own bike</li><li>A bike lock for your own bike</li></ul>Please do not come on our rides if you have Covid symptoms, have been in close contact with someone who has symptoms or if you have been asked to self isolate.PLEASE NOTE: These Joy Riders jaunts are planned, risk assessed and led by volunteers who, like many of our riders, started out as less confident cyclists. We happily devote our time to what we consider a fun cycle ride in the company of like-minded women. So please if you find that you can't come, let us know by emailing the ride leader(s) in advance otherwise we are left waiting with the group to welcome people who aren't in fact joining us.
