Belinda Scott

Three years ago, Belinda started up BellaVelo, after feeling there was a real need to build a community for female cyclists of all abilities. Many of the group’s members have been totally transformed by joining in, going from rarely cycling to taking on Land’s End to John O’Groats or competing in races. BelloVelo offers a range of different rides and skills sessions. Belinda hopes that the group can continue to bring on beginners alongside developing a racing team.

For Belinda, the best bit is: “Meeting women who are pushing the boundaries of their cycling and what they think is possible.”

Cycling UK’s 100 Women in Cycling is an annual list celebrating inspirational women who are encouraging others to take part in this wonderful and life-enhancing activity.
