We’ve developed a new guided bike ride route which incorporates women uncovered by our Women’s History Detectives who feature in our Women’s Heritage Walks. From GWL we’ll head through Glasgow Green to the edge of the Merchant City, before crossing the river into the Gorbals, and returning via the Clydeside to our start. You’ll hear about remarkable activists, hawkers, weavers, creatives, housewives and educators from different backgrounds who have inhabited and enriched these areas. We’re offering this led bike ride for women over 55 of all speeds, but please note this ride will be a slow pace with lots of breaks. “Great pace, interesting stops and enjoyed learning about the East End.” – Bike ride participant   Check out the other Women’s Heritage Bike Ride programmed for Thursday 22nd June.
