#andshecycles is a national campaign aiming to address the barriers faced by teenage girls and young women when cycling. The campaign is inspired by and is working in collaboration with the Green schools Ireland campaign of the same name.
The campaign has been co-developed by a group of young women (age 13-18) across Scotland from 14 different schools, youth groups and colleges. Through a series of interactive workshops these young people identified the main barriers preventing them from choosing to cycle and developed action plans which aimed to address these barriers.
