Women’s Heritage Bike Ride

American Suffragette Susan B. Anthony said that “bicycling […] has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world”. We couldn’t agree more and our tour guides have lots of anecdotes and knowledge to share which proves the point.

Women’s Heritage Bike Ride, Saturday 13th August, 11am to 1pm

Let them guide you gently from GWL along cycle paths through Glasgow Green, beside the Clyde, and past the Velodrome, sharing stories of cycling Suffragettes, circus acts, bike mechanics, and freedom fighters.

Bikes are available for hire (£1 per 30 minutes) from Next Bike at Bridgeton Cross. Please visit the Next Bike website for more information.
