For the fourth year in a row and with the aim of supporting women’s sports, this project brings together twenty or so women from Brussels to learn how to cycle. The aim is to get them involved in the preparation of the BXL TOUR and to participate and finish the race. This enriching and fun experience also allowes them to familiarise themselves with this growing means of active mobility.
Various Brussels associations active in the field of cycling provide the training programme, which gives the participants the theoretical and practical means to cross the finishing line!
In addition to being an important lever for good physical and mental health, sport unifies, levels out disparities and brings people together.
It is therefore essential that it serve integration and citizen participation.
This initiative also shows the positive evolution of women’s sport in Brussels.
