A very important message from Ireland. If girls don't cycle as teenagers, they're very unlikely to cycle as young women.

17-20 yr old girls/women (17-20 yr old) made 3 (nearly 4) times fewer cycling trips than boys/men of the same age in 2022 in the UK (NTS 2022)

Good to see a focus on this.
"I think it's a good way to normalise cycling, get rid of the stigma around it”
"It's environmentally friendly, and it's a handy way to get around. It's good cost-wise." #AndSheCycles

Great Green-Schools campaign #AndSheCycles empowering girls to cycle. Data shows 20% of boys cycle to their school, but only 2% of girls do so.

Student ambassadors called for cycling to be treated as essential national climate and public health infrastructure.

Our Green-Schools campaign #andshecycles tries to encourage teenage girls to cycle to school after we found out that only 1 in 250 girls in Ireland cycles to school in secondary schools (1 in 10 for boys) greenschoolsireland.org/the-programm... #antaisce #cyclingireland
With 60% of trips by bike, teens are the age group that cycle the most in the Netherlands—over 2,000 km. per capita per year.

Rather than spend these years depending on parents and waiting for a driver’s license, they experience the autonomy promised by the car without its stress, danger, and cost.
