Thousands of people from communities in cities and towns around the UK came together to highlight the need for safer cycling and walking routes that consider the needs and experiences of women
Glow rides took place all over the UK on 22 October. Working closely with cycling organisations, including many of our member and affiliate groups, Cycling UK coordinated more than 60 rides across the four nations. While most took place on 22 October, more will be happening this weekend.
The glow rides were part of our women’s safety campaign ‘My ride. Our ride’ – calling for safer cycling routes for women and more investment in infrastructure to address the gender divide.
Despite heavy rain, almost 3,000 riders lit up roads from Plymouth to Perth with bike lights, glow sticks and reflective gear to shine a light – literally – on the barriers to cycling women continue to face. While participation in cycling has increased in recent years, it hasn’t been equal: progress has too often left women behind.

Ive been riding like this since 1 was a kid on a bmx……riding primary is like holding your hand out for the cain……i find it rather irrate towards motorists too ride in a fashion that challenges road users…….in the 80's and 90's the only people who rode primary were professional athletes who had sponsorship in racing at a pace of 25mph and above
2020's. Its full of arrogant imberceils and Old people on e bikes riding around in primary on flat batteries….im surprised nobodys really pushing their luck trying too make the hard shoulder on the motorway a cyclane
I was on the Worcester ride ✨️ along with some of those giving comments ❤ it was brilliant, even in the rain 🌧
Thank you for having common sense with your women in cycling award. Sad to see the BBC spin it into a negative.
