Zainab is dedicated to making cycling more accessible and inclusive. Having completed the RideLondon 46-mile route in 2018, she went onto join Cycle Sisters, an award-winning cycling club aimed at enabling more Muslim women to cycle. In 2021 she set up the Cycle Sisters Road Club to introduce Muslim women to road cycling. This year saw 80 women from the club take part in RideLondon events.

“I found a wonderful cycling group for women, Cycle Sisters. They allowed me to reconnect with cycling in a safe and inclusive environment. I finally saw women who looked like me out riding road bikes.”
