Are you passionate about getting more women and girls cycling? Cycling Ireland is looking for individuals to take up the mantle of Bike Like Me Advocate and inspire other women and girls during 2021 to 'Bike Like Me'.

The advocates will help Cycling Ireland celebrate the Bike Like Me campaign, highlighting the fact that whatever your ability or previous experience, cycling can be a fun, enjoyable and can fit in to all women’s everyday lives.

Cycling Ireland are looking for women who are passionate about cycling and sharing their journey of our beloved sport. As a member of your local club, being and advocate means encouraging women in your local club and your local community with their cycling journeys and championing the sport. We are looking for advocates from each province and across the cycling disciplines.
