The Toolkit

This toolkit is a template for replicating the Women Bike, Women Lead series that was created and piloted in Los Angeles. The Women Bike, Women Lead series serves as a foundation for engaging women with bicycle advocacy at your organization or with a local movement. This guide serves as a model for a three-part event series.

The toolkit provides information for:

Organizing community bike rides as a recruitment tool to attend the Women Bike, Women Lead summit
Planning a summit focused on bicycling and women
Marketing and branding your own Women Bike, Women Lead program
Continuing your program with limited resources
