Hollie only learned to ride a bike in 2020, having never learnt as a child; she wanted to be able to teach her young daughter to ride. She has gone on to train as a bike mechanic and ride leader. This year she set up Energise Cycles. This community cycle group provides affordable cycle servicing and repairs, bike maintenance workshops, and community rides. She also supports Dr Bike sessions across Wirral and surrounding areas.

“We provide a cycle club that focuses on community inclusion and empowering people to use their bikes for transport or enrichment (and we always promise cake).”
