Belinda Everett
Cycle mechanic and founder of Bee Pedal Ready
Belinda is a role model with a real passion for cycling and its benefits. Frustrated that she couldn't fix bikes, Belinda decided to train and become a qualified bike mechanic. She is part of the team at Platt Fields Bike Hub in Manchester.
She created Bee Pedal Ready as a space for women to learn to repair and ride bikes, while seeking to bring awareness to the lack of diversity within the cycling sector.
“I've never really considered myself a 'cyclist' I've seen it as a necessity to get from A to B.”
