Sunny Cycles

🌲 12 Highlights of Christmas: Day 1 🌲 Meet Carol, the project manager and heart of Sunny Cycles! Carol keeps the charity running smoothly—scheduling activities, securing funding, and ensuring everything is on track. She also leads our Friday Women’s Rides, inspiring confidence and building community through cycling. ⭐ What’s your favorite part of working at Sunny Cycles? "The people—not just our participants, but also our volunteers, staff, board, and supporters." 🚲 Favorite Bike: The Fun2Go tandem – "It’s so versatile and adaptable for so many." 🗨️ Why is cycling important? "Cycling has been proven to have a positive impact on mental and physical wellbeing, but not everyone has access to a bike. Or knows that a bike exists to suit their needs. This is where we can help." Thank you, Carol, for your dedication and passion—you truly are the driving force behind Sunny Cycles! ✨ #SunnyCycles #CyclingForAll #InclusiveCycling #CommunityCycling #ActiveLiving #CyclingCommunity #GlasgowCycling #MentalHealthMatters #AccessibleCycling #SustainableTransport #WomenInLeadership #CyclingSupport #CharityWork #CyclingScotland #CyclingMotivationCycles #CyclingForAll #InclusiveCycling #CommunityCycling #ActiveLiving #CyclingCommunity #GlasgowCycling #MentalHealthMatters #AccessibleCycling #SustainableTransport #WomenInLeadership #CyclingSupport #CharityWork #CyclingScotland #CyclingMotivation

Last Tuesday, Carol and Sandra attended the Paths for All Community Project Learning Event in Glasgow. It was an inspiring day filled with thought-provoking talks and meaningful discussions about the power of active travel and community-driven projects. 🚲 As participants, we gained valuable insights from the speakers and connected with other organizations passionate about making communities healthier and more inclusive. The event sparked ideas that will help Sunny Cycles continue to grow and create lasting impact. A big thank you to Paths for All for organizing such an engaging and informative event. We’re excited to take what we’ve learned and apply it to our mission of making cycling accessible to everyone. 💙

We had a lovely time at the Glasgow Sport awards on Monday evening where we were shortlisted for the Health & Wellbeing Award! 🎉🎉 Unfortunately we didn't win, but it was great to be nominated and to be part of such a lovely event. Our team had a really nice evening, and it was great to hear about all the community groups helping people into sports.

It was an absolute pleasure!

Carol joined Katherine from Women On Wheels SCIO on a trip to Manchester to join in the Womens Lights Up Ride with Bee Pedal Ready. They had a fantastic time, with over 150 women cycling together through different parts of the city, all light up and cycling together. It was such a well organised ride and brilliant event! 😁💙💛🚲 #lightsupride #rides4women
