We can't thank everyone enough for making Glasgow Women On Wheels Cycling Festival as brilliant as it was this year. 🚲
Hundreds of women and non-binary people attended our events which were on every day in September! 🎉
Biggest thanks goes to the wonderful GWOW team, volunteers and partners who all came together to pull off such an incredible festival, despite the rising Covid cases across Glasgow. ✨
Some events booked up so quickly, and we welcomed many women who were new to cycling. 🥰
We'll be back with a bang next year - until then, here are some of our fave pics from the month 🧡
