We are pleased to share the successful completion of the third edition of our TandEm Women in Cycling programme, in partnership with EIT Urban Mobility. This year, 11 dedicated women from 10 cities across 8 countries completed their training and have since organised women’s cycling courses in their local communities, positively impacting 50 women.
The programme’s impact speaks volumes:
- 90% of participants now feel more confident riding a bicycle, a significant increase from 50% before the programme.
- Over 70% are now using bicycles for daily transportation needs like work, school, and groceries, compared to 40% previously.
- 90% have reported significant benefits from increased cycling, including time and cost savings, improved health, and new income opportunities.
A few reflections from those involved:
- Juliana from Brussels shared, “Seeing a beginner student pedal for the first time, and her pride in wanting to teach her children, was incredibly fulfilling. Her determination and courage have been major motivators for me.”
- Jaspreet from Berlin shared, “The course boosted my self-confidence and made me believe that I can use a bicycle to reach the places I want to go.”
Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this programme a success. Stay tuned for more updates on TandEm 2025 later this year!
