GET INVOLVED!

YOUR VOICE MATTERS

We’re gathering lived experiences from women, girls and non-binary and gender non-conforming people across Norwich to understand what helps you feel safe and what makes cycling harder, more stressful or less accessible.

People in these groups often face challenges that don’t appear in standard transport data — such as harassment, poor lighting, unsafe routes or simply not being heard. Whether you cycle regularly or haven’t yet felt safe on a bike, sharing your experiences helps fill these gaps in knowledge and supports future planning that reflects people’s needs.

To support this, we’re running a range of activities throughout February and March, giving you different ways to share your thoughts. All events are free. Some activities require children to be accompanied by an adult — please check each activity for any age restrictions.

PAST EVENTS

BREAD & ROSES DROP-IN

WEDNESDAY 18TH FEBRUARY

We held our first drop-in on Wednesday 18th February, and it was wonderful to see people coming along on such a bitter night!

Everyone got involved in a mapping exercise to show where they feel safe — or unsafe — while cycling in Norwich. People also shared their thoughts through postcards and sign painting, marking both what they love about cycling in the city and the barriers they face.

These activities gave us important insights into the real experiences of women and gender-diverse cyclists, which will help shape the Women’s Cycling Safety Audit and guide improvements to make streets safer and more inclusive.

zine-making workshop

SATURDAY 28TH FEBRUARY

We had a brilliant time hosting our zine-making workshop at the the Millennium Library — an afternoon full of creativity, conversation and cut-and-paste magic.

From bold collages to thoughtful reflections and powerful cycling stories, everyone brought their own voice to the page. It was such a joy to see ideas come to life in true DIY style.

Huge thanks to everyone who joined us, shared their creativity and made the space feel so welcoming.

EATON PARK COMMUNITY CENTRE DROP-IN

SATURDAY 7TH MARCH

We held our second drop-in at Eaton Park Community Centre on Saturday 7th March, and it was great to see people coming along to share their experiences of cycling in Norwich

People got involved in a mapping activity, marking places where they feel safe — and where they don’t — when cycling around the city. Through postcards and sign painting, participants also shared what they love about cycling in Norwich, as well as some of the barriers they face.

We were also joined by the wonderful Norwich Bicycle Repair Cooperative, who kindly offered free bike tune-ups and practical advice throughout the session.

The conversations and activities gave us a much richer picture of what cycling in Norwich is really like for women and gender-diverse people, and these insights will feed into the Women’s Cycling Safety Audit as we work towards making the city’s streets safer and more welcoming for everyone.

international women's day ride

SUNDAY 8TH MARCH

For International Women’s Day, we went for a ride through Norwich, led by Leah. Riding together felt like a beautiful way to mark the day — taking up space on the streets, moving freely and connecting with others.

the feed community cafe and kitchen DROP-IN

FRIDAY 13TH MARCH

We held our third drop-in at the Feed Community Café & Kitchen, and it was great to see people coming along to share their experiences of cycling in Norwich.

Participants took part in a mapping activity, marking places where they feel safe — and where they don’t — when cycling around the city. Through postcards and sign painting, participants also shared what they love about cycling in Norwich, as well as some of the barriers they face.

A big thank you to Tuckswood Community Cycle Club, who braved the cold to offer free bike maintenance and practical advice!

185 DRAYTON ROAD DROP-IN

SATURDAY 14TH MARCH

We held our fourth drop-in at 185 Drayton Road, and it was great to see people coming along to share their experiences of cycling in Norwich.

We got lots of signs painted and postcards written, with a mix of ages sharing what they love about cycling in the city and some of the barriers they face.

A big thank you to Fettle for supporting the session and offering free bike maintenance and practical advice (it was great to have the sun out!), and to The Common Lot for hosting us so wonderfully.

catton grove community centre easter fayre

SATURDAY 28TH MARCH

We had a stall at the popular Easter Fayre held by Catton Grove Community Centre. It was great to see the wonderful services of Fettle being so well-received. As well as the 90s tunes from the bike boom box...

boudicca bikers ride

Sunday 29th March

The Audit teamed up with Boudicca Bikers for a ride down Marriott's Way, stopping off at The Red Lion in Drayton for a cuppa (and sweets, what with the lost hour for daylight saving...)
