Women's Cycling Development Initative

Sport has the power to change lives!

The Women’s Cycling Development Initiative Presented by Balmoral Cycling Club aims to provide a safe and accepting environment for women and girls to learn and develop their skills at all levels of cycling, whilst promoting respect, camaraderie, good sportsmanship, health, fitness and enjoyment.

Passionate about Female Participation

Being a female only team, we passionately believe in increasing female participation in the sport and providing an environment where riders can enjoy cycling and learning in a team environment.

The Women’s Cycling Development Initiative started as a project to address the abject lack of opportunities for young female cyclists in Australia.

Not necessarily at the highest levels of the sport, where there is reasonable funding and support, but at the grassroots level, where there are limited opportunities for talented athletes, who may not fit the standard performance mould, to compete and learn in a positive team environment.

The team aims to provide this environment for all athletes, aiming to develop them not just as riders, but as human beings, prepared to take on whatever journey they choose.

The Women’s Cycling Development Initiative is also about creating ambassadors for the sport and inspiring the next generation of female cyclists – creating a team that young riders see as a future goal and something to aspire to.

Pathways are at the core of what we do!

As a development team, pathways are at the core of what we do! The Women's Cycling Development Initiative Presented by Balmoral Cycling Club mentors and develops from U17 to U19's, U23's and Elite riders.
