Saudi women’s driving protest
‘I love that women are changing the world… on 26 October Saudi Arabian women protested against laws that prohibit them from riding bikes. Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world which denies its women the right to ride bikes and operate vehicles on the road. But now, a century after cycling helped emancipate the women of the West, it appears to be aiding the Saudi women’s case for equality on the roads. Earlier this year Follow the Women charity took to their bikes to cycle through the 7 United Arab Emirates. Over 350 women from 40 countries took part in the bike ride lead by volunteers from around the world, including one of our very own Breeze champions Detta Regan CEO. I love that as women we can stand united to demonstrate peace, solidarity and support human rights regardless of race, colour or religion.’ More on the Saudi women’s driving protest

 Autumn cycling
‘Autumn is one of my most favourite times of the year. Summer's over, dark nights roll in and we’re on countdown to Christmas! The rustle of the leaves, dressing up for Halloween and the colours on the trees are why I love riding my bike at this time of year!’
