About Us

Women on Wheels was established in 2012 by Rachel Nicholls and Amy Taylor. We didn’t quite anticipate what we would create! With Women on Wheels you can expect a safe ride led by qualified British Cycling Ride Leaders, showing you local routes with enjoyable scenery.  Our rides always include a coffee, tea and cake stop as we know that being sociable is as important as riding our bikes.  We help to build your riding confidence as well as helping you to love riding your bike.

In 2018 we affiliated ourselves to British Cycling. Even though we are a registered cycling club, we always aim to maintain our social cycling ethos offering a diverse range of bike rides for women in Worcestershire.  We have a team of 21 volunteer Ride Leaders, most of them trained as Breeze Champions by British Cycling, and without them WOW really wouldn’t exist.  They all give up time to ensure that your routes are well planned, safe and enjoyable.

We now have over almost 2,000 followers on our Facebook page and 100 members (December 2025) from all over the county and beyond. Our riders range from those who like to go for a one-hour pootle to those who like to take on a challenge of a sportive or audax of 100-160km and everything else in between.  You’re guaranteed to find a ride that suits your needs.

If you’re new to cycling or would simply like to ride with other women, led by other women then look no further than Women on Wheels. To find out more about joining us – why not watch this video for inspiration.
