Fatima Patel
Ride leader and group coordinator
After a mental health crisis 2019, Fatima joined Cycle Sisters. After taking cycle confident lessons she trained to become a ride leader and later became a group coordinator. Through cycling Fatima has discovered a sense of purpose, joy, and self-acceptance and is an incredible role model to Muslim women for her bravery in speaking out about mental health issues and the benefits of cycling.
“Cycling made me realise my ability is stronger than my disability. My personal journey with cycling has been nothing short of transformative.”
