Woman’s visibility in urban spaces is key to claim the right to the city. Cycling is a particularly powerful way for women to become visible in the society and a complete new way to interact with the city. Fancy Women Bike Ride is an event for women, organized by women to remember the liberating joy of cycling and to inspire more women to use a bicycle in the cities.

The more women cycle, the more women will be encouraged to cycle.

The guidelines for Fancy Women Bike Ride are as follows (although, these are not strict rules) :
