“We have come a long way to help the growth of female cycling in my country, Ghana. The purpose of celebrating of the anniversary of my bicycle tour of Ghana in 1990 is to prove evidence that female riding bicycles will not be harmful. Parents in Ghana never allowed their female child to ride a bicycle. There is a saying if you want to have a baby don’t ride a bicycle. There are a lot of discouraging messages. Female cycling is not recognized. I believe our yearly celebration will break that gap. Each year we celebrate by teaching girls riding skills, repair, maintenance and safety” Juliet Vida Julie
Special note: Please get in touch if you happen to be touring in Ghana and would like to participate in the yearly celebration that happens in April. Juliet mentioned to me that they love it when bicycle tourist stop by to speak to the community about their bicycle travels.
