At the age of 15, Hope secured a personal interview with Brian Facer, the then CEO of British Cycling, to ask for more resources for women in cycling. Now, at 19 and studying at the University of Birmingham, she is working with current CEO Jon Dutton towards setting up a women’s working group with the intention of getting more women involved in cycling and improving equality within the sport. She also races and has promoted a series of road races for the university.
“I love the feeling of racing, but also the incredible community at events. Cycling has taken me so many places around the UK and beyond as well as introducing me to amazing friends.”
