Bike mechanic and lead cycling instructor for The Bike Project
Cath is a bike mechanic and lead instructor for The Bike Project, an initiative that refurbishes second hand bikes for refugees and asylum seekers, as well as providing riding skills and confidence through their Bike Buddy and Pedal Power programmes. Cath is a key part of the team helping women, many of whom have never ridden a bike before.
“Cycle touring has taken me all over the world – such a great way to travel and experience the changes in landscape and culture. Now working as a bike mechanic, I can help others experience that freedom.”
