Women in Cycling: Towards a More Inclusive Cycling World

In 2021, responding to the recurring question, “Where are the women?” in the cycling world, the European Cyclists’ Federation (ECF) and Cycling Industry Europe (CIE) launched the Women in Cycling initiative. This project aims to understand how many women work in the industry, in what roles, and, most importantly, how to increase their visibility.

In recent years, Women in Cycling has participated in industry events and trade fairs, addressing gender diversity issues and building professional networks. After successes in Germany, Switzerland, and France, in 2025, Italy will take the stage, thanks to a group of active women in the sector.
The project’s core idea is to create networking opportunities for women, promote inclusive policies, and enhance female talent. With the launch of Women in Cycling Italy, the cycling industry will experience a key moment, coinciding with new European regulations ensuring greater gender equality in corporate boards. A tangible sign of how crucial concrete action for gender equality is.
The Women in Cycling movement is not just a positive initiative but a true catalyst for change in an industry that needs innovation and inclusivity. Increasing the number of women in the cycling industry leads to better economic results and supports the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals by promoting gender equality and social justice.

Women and Bicycles:

A Path to Freedom
For many women, the bicycle is more than just a means of transport—it is a tool for empowerment and freedom. Riding means going beyond imposed limits, exploring new horizons, and experiencing independence with every pedal stroke.

How much time do you dedicate to your passion for cycling?

Have you ever participated in a trail or a bike trip?

Personally, I had the pleasure of joining a women’s trail event, and I can tell you it was an incredible experience!

Why Participate in a Cycling Event?

Cycling events are not just simple rides; they are a great opportunity to challenge yourself, build camaraderie, and inspire other women to participate. They often become the starting point for new cycling adventures and discovering the joy of moving freely.
If you are ready to take on a new challenge and live a unique cycling experience, now is the time to start preparing for your next adventure!
