She says, “I have identified that many women in the area are participating in other sporting codes, but not cycling.
“One of the main challenges that I have gathered is that the equipment are expensive and they will not be able to afford them.
“This is understood, but doesn’t mean it can’t be done.
“I started small with the bike and protective equipment and later moved to the others.
“We are also calling on local business people to come forward by donating equipment,” she says.
