About
Let’s celebrate the end of our VUB cycling course with a special film screening!🎥

Join us for ‘Women Don’t Cycle’, a powerful documentary followed by a Q&A session with Manon, the director! This event marks the official closing of our VUB cycling course. Everyone is warmly welcome - even if you didn’t participate in the other bike sessions.🫶🏽

When Manon set off on her cycling journey from Brussels to Tokyo, she brought her camera along to record inspiring women she met on her way, challenging cycling stereotypes around the world. Come and listen to their empowering stories.💜🤝

This event concludes a month-long initiative led by HOST researcher Juliana Betancur Arenas, supported by us, GreenTeam VUB. Throughout June, we hosted a series of beginner cycling lessons, confidence-building bike rides, and bike repair workshops - all aimed at building a supportive cycling community at VUB and in Brussels.🚲

Would you like to learn how to cycle in a safe and supportive environment? Or gain the confidence to navigate the streets of Brussels by bike?🦸‍♀️🚵

We understand it can feel intimidating, but the city has made major investments in cycling infrastructure - and biking is often a faster, healthier, and more sustainable alternative to public transport or driving.🚙➡️🚲

Join our cycling courses this June!
You can choose to attend all sessions or just a few - it’s completely up to you. We also offer a session on basic bike mechanics. ⚙️👩‍🔧

The courses will wrap up with a special closing event in July, featuring a screening of the thought-provoking and inspiring film “Women Don’t Cycle.” This event is open to everyone, even if you didn’t take part in the classes.🎬💜

This project was launched last year by Juliana, a researcher at VUB Mobilise, and we’re excited to bring it back for a second edition - with Juliana returning as part of the team!👑
