Samina is a passionate advocate for cycling, with a deep commitment to promoting cycling for all. During the Covid pandemic, she rediscovered cycling while teaching her son how to ride and enjoying quality time together. Inspired by courses from TFGM and Lady Pedal for confidence building, she gained the skills to ride confidently on busy roads. This led her to join cycling groups for pleasure and train as a ride leader with JoyRiders Manchester. Now, she leads rides for women of all abilities, helping them gain confidence and improve their wellbeing. 

In addition to commuting to work by bike, which brings her happiness and improves her health, Samina found a passion for bike maintenance. She took this interest further by gaining funding to become a qualified bike mechanic. Samina now spends her weekends teaching TFGM bike maintenance classes, repairing bikes, and leading rides to empower women and boost their cycling confidence. Her dedication to cycling and community support has brought her immense joy, making her life feel truly fulfilling.
