Women+ on Wheels Webinar

May 24, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

FREE
What’s it like to be a women+ who rides bikes? How have your experiences shaped the way you ride and where you ride? 
Let’s explore bike culture from a women’s perspective!  Learn, laugh, complain and connect!
Join us for an interactive panel discussion with amazing bicyclists, organizers and advocates.
 

Women+ on Wheels is brought to you by Vie Cycle.

During this 2 hour event you’ll hear from four exceptional women+ who are making big moves in the bike world. They will share stories and advice about the experience of being a women+ who rides bikes.

This event is focused on the experiences of people who identify as women, trans, femme, queer, non-binary, gender non-conforming. If you don’t identify with any of these and you would like to be involved, please reach out to Sylvie@sdbikecoalition.org for more information.

Meet the panelists!

Wendy is the Director of Girlz Gone Riding. She'll talk about how her passion for riding with other women led to the birth of a club that now has chapters all over the United States!

Paula Outon (she/her)

Paula is the owner of LACyclery in Los Angeles CA. She'll share about her experience as a professional mechanic, bike shop owner and the importance of protecting the rights of trans youth in sports.
