Cyclofemme: Women on bikes take to streets, roads and trails on Sunday – everywhere

More than 270 women-oriented bike rides are registered as part of the worldwide CycloFemme celebration on Sunday.

The rides include everything from the slow-paced Critical Lass bike ride in Seattle to a sunset ride through the Arabian desert in Dubai.

The rides based in 20 countries and 228 cities (at last count) around the world are listed at the CycloFemme website. You can find rides close to home using an interactive map, or browse a list of CycloFemme bike rides organized by state and country.

This is the fourth year that women have been encouraged to participate in the CycloFemme rides, one of the major activities of National Bike Month. The website tells how to get involved beyond participation in one of the bike rides.

The grassroots celebration was created by Girl Bike Love and Language Dept., with financial backing from the League of American Bicyclists.
