Shaafia is a Senior Cycling Coordinator and Social Media Lead at SähëlïHub and has been a cycling instructor for over 12 years.

She also has a background in children’s services and sports development and started teaching Bikeability across schools in Birmingham. But she soon realised she wanted to encourage more women to cycle.

“Since joining SähëlïHub we have worked together to teach thousands of women to cycle. Our aim is to empower women to take up cycling for social, recreational, or commuting purposes whilst supporting their emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing along the way. Our sessions are open to all abilities, making it fun to learn and easy to start. Ready, steady, pedal with Sähëlï Hub!”
