Glorious spoke to cyclist Lindsey Walker about her passion for cycling, The Rapha Women’s 100, and what it means for female cyclists around the world:
Women often report that they feel “intimidated” on the roads, or that they don’t feel safe – making them hesitant to start, or restart cycling. But the cycling gender gap doesn’t have to exist. For the past 10 years British cycling brand Rapha has championed women’s cycling – challenging thousands of women around the world to ride 100 kilometres in one day. They call it the ‘Women’s 100’. “The Women’s 100 is a chance for female cyclists to meet other women, come together, share the road and ride 100k,” explains cyclist and former Rapha employee Lindsey Walker. “You could be riding in a group or on your own, but you know hundreds of other women are riding together and you’re a part of something special.”
