🌟Connecting, communicating and building towards a European Women's MTB network🌟 Held in the picturesque Vienna Woods, this year's IMBA Europe Summit saw an incredible turnout of women in mountain biking—a significant milestone for our organization dedicated to promoting more people on bikes through sustainable mountain biking. This year's program included a dedicated breakout session on the FIAS (Fostering Inclusive Action Sports) framework, as well as a working group session that focused on the development of a European women’s mountain biking network. The FIAS workshop provided crucial insights into fostering gender inclusivity in mountain biking. Led by Dr. Fiona Spotswood, the session highlighted four key areas: building communities of women+ in MTB, integrating women+ into MTB culture, supporting women+ in leadership roles, and transforming MTB's cultural representation. Attendees engaged in dynamic discussions on how to enhance inclusivity individually and collectively, committing to actionable steps across these areas to drive meaningful change. Simultaneously, the women in mountain biking workshop underscored persistent challenges such as unequal pay, limited representation, and stereotypes. Participants articulated a vision for a more diverse and welcoming MTB environment, emphasizing the need for increased visibility, equitable opportunities, and community-building initiatives to empower women within the sport. These workshops collectively set the stage for ongoing efforts to advance gender equity and inclusivity in mountain biking communities across Europe and beyond. We invite women who couldn't attend to reach out to IMBA Europe to learn more about the European MTB Network. For more info, contact Loren Rowney at [email protected]. 🔗Read the full article for more insights into our journey towards an inclusive MTB community. https://lnkd.in/dGcUMnEa Cycling Industries Europe Fiona Spotswood Manon Carpenter #WomenInMountainBiking #FIASFramework #IMBAEuropeSummit #Inclusivity #Community #Empowerment

IMBA Europe is tackling diversity in the cycling/mtb sector by walking the walk - or it is riding the ride? The #IMBASummit2024 will have 40% female speakers and panelists. Additionally, they have set an ambitious target of 30% female participation in the event (from 18% in previous years). Fantastic initiative by the team - Cathy Naveaux Thomas Larsen Schmidt Manon Carpenter Mark Torsius During the summit, we seek to have diverse voices and thoughts at every table throughout the program. Additionally, there will be a women`s only meeting in which to speak about challenges specific to the MTB sector and together, identify which issues we should focus on in the future. Why women only? To create a safe space in which to share and be heard. If you are a woman in this broad sector of MTB industry (guides, instructors, academic, commercial, manufacturing, policy), I invite you to come and have your ideas heard as we seek to build a better trail together. 🚵♀️ https://lnkd.in/euQc4Ea5

🚲 Reflecting on a fantastic Global Capacity Building Day On Active Mobility! 🌟 A heartfelt thank you to all the participants who made yesterday's event on cycling and walking so engaging. It was inspiring to witness various organizations from over the world coming together, exchanging ideas, and gathering valuable insights. The connections made during the day emphasized the power of collaboration. Together, we are stronger, and we're committed to carrying forward the momentum generated. As a country known for cycling, let's aspire for a future where other nations follow suit. However, we recognize that achieving this vision requires a collective effort. That's why we're on a mission to train 10,000 local active mobility experts within the next 10 years. Our goal is to empower people to take charge —providing them with the tools, not just the solutions. The day was a resounding success, thanks to the enthusiasm and dedication of everyone involved. To a future where sustainable active mobility is a global reality! 🌍 #GlobalCapacityBuilding #Cycling #Walking #ActiveMobility #Collaboration #Empowerment #Vitality Arlette van Gilst Teun Zeegers Pui-Yuen Cheng Jelle Bakker Carly Gilbert-Patrick Claudia Adriazola @davidtron Brecht Vercruysse Ruxandra Aelenei Thijs de Jong Fabian Küster Gerard Bruil Skadi Tirpak Shelley Bontje Teije Gorris Carolina Ramos Fallu Brett Petzer Ruben Loendersloot Maud de Vries Meredith Glaser and many more!

𝗘𝘁𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲 𝟵 - 𝗘𝗖𝗖𝗠 𝟮𝟰 🚴♂️ Hannelore Botterman from Lidl Belgium & Luxemburg shares how Lidl evolved from "brochures" and radio ads to becoming a strong partner in cycling! In 2012, Lidl started with name-dropping in the Tour de France, and by 2014, they were collaborating with Flanders Classics. In 2023, Lidl-Trek was born, and for 2024 they chose to focus on the spring season. Lidl distinguishes itself through its international sponsorship strategy, while competitors Aldi and Colruyt are not active in sports! 🌍 🚴♀️ Griet Langedock is committed to women's cycling, having started in the men's peloton with her favorite Gent-Wevelgem. Gent-Wevelgem boosts the Flemish economy and finally brought a women's race live on TV in 2018! The budget for women's cycling increased from €15M in 2021 to €57M in 2024, with the number of female riders growing from 117 to 232. In 2024, we saw increased attention for women's sports. As a result, women's sports now make up half of the broadcast time in certain programs, a fantastic step forward! 🙌 🚴♂️ Wannes Cuypers from AG Insurance explains how they brought structure to sports sponsorship using data. AG sets itself apart by owning a Belgian World Tour women's team with a unique training structure. Partnerships such as AG Insurance Soudal Quick-Step and participation in mass events ensure maximum exposure. Cycling ranks in the top 3 in sports interest, offers massive TV publicity, and appeals to all target audiences! 📺 #ExpertClassCyclingManagement #ExpertClass #Cycling #Lidl #CyclingVlaanderen #AGInsurance Sportcareers
