Roya

Roya learned how to ride a bicycle with the Women's Cycling Network in Flemingdon Park.

As many as 50 women in Thorncliffe Park and Flemingdon Heights have joined their sisters in the Women’s Cycling Network, and are waiting to benefit from the freedom of riding their own bike.

WCN was founded by Najia Zewari, leader of Women’s Wellness Café, and is assisted by the ever-present Neighourhood Organization (TNO). The current campaign to find unused but functioning bicycles is being supported by Cycle Don Valley Midtown.

Roya and her friends find freedom, empowerment and health benefits by riding a bike, but they need safe cycling infrastructure too.
