About us

Cycle Sisters is an award-winning charity that empowers Muslim women to transform their lives through cycling. It all started in 2016 when we set up our first community cycling group for Muslim women in East London. Since then, we’ve grown across London and have been recognised for making a real difference in helping Muslim women get into cycling.

We’re passionate about breaking down the barriers that stop Muslim women from cycling. In a space that’s still mostly male-dominated, many Muslim women and those from minority backgrounds feel cycling isn’t for them or their families. We’re here to change that.

Cycling is life-changing – it’s a fun, affordable way to get active, feel healthier, build your confidence, and connect with others. Plus, it helps cut down car use and is great for the environment.

As the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “A strong believer is better and more loved by Allah than a weak believer, while there is good in both” (Sahih Muslim). This shows how important it is to look after our physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing so we can do more for ourselves, our families, and our communities.

Everyone deserves the chance to enjoy the benefits of cycling. By creating safe, welcoming spaces for Muslim women, we’re making cycling more inclusive and showing that it really is for everyone.
