Ozge Aksakal
Cycle instructor with Londra Bisiklet Kulubu
Özge is a cycle instructor with Londra Bisiklet Kulubu (London Cycling Club), a club for London’s Turkish-speaking community. Since joining the club two years ago she has taught many children and women from diverse backgrounds to ride – even including yoga in her classes. She received several nominations, with one describing her training skills as “exceptional”.
“When I moved to London three years ago, my first act was buying a bicycle. Regrettably, I observed the limited participation of immigrant women in this activity. That's when I crossed paths with the Londra Bisiklet Kulübü.”
