Iona O’Donnell

Young bike tourer and cycling advocate

At just 10 years old, Iona already reaches a wide audience through YouTube and social media, where she shares her cycling adventures to inspire other young people to take up cycling. She cycles to school and to parkruns around the country, encouraging others to do the same. She went her first cycle tour aged nine, with her dad, and has had further adventures in England and the Netherlands.

“I got into cycling as I wanted to join my dad on his cycling adventures and fell in love with it myself. I love that it’s good for the environment and you get to see places from a different perspective.”
