\n The campaign is calling especially for safer routes for women riding after dark, with rides this week having been led by women but open to everyone.\n<\/p>\n
\n The Bolton ride was hosted at Haslam Park on Wigan Road by Krimmz Girls Youth Club in partnership with Cycling UK, as part of the \u201cMy Ride, Our Right\u201d initiative.\n<\/p>\n
\n Khadija Patel, of Krimmz, said: \u201cThe glow ride is part of a Cycling UK national initiative encouraging communities to enjoy cycling in a fun, safe, and inclusive way.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cOur event aims to bring together women, and young people from across Bolton to celebrate night cycling and promote active lifestyles, visibility, and community spirit.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Together, Krimmz hoped to show how groups like theirs help to make cycling more accessible, particularly for women who are often underrepresented.\n<\/p>\n

\n The club has been running for more than 20 years now and runs various other similar activities around Bolton to help get girls into sports.\n<\/p>\n
\n On Wednesday night they put this into practice by lighting up the autumn sky with the glow ride.\n<\/p>\n

\n Along with the Bolton event<\/a>, similar rides took place across the UK over the evening of Wednesday October 22.\n<\/p>\n \n The cyclists<\/a> met at 7pm before setting off on the journey, with many of the participants illuminated along the way with glow sticks.\n<\/p>\n \n A ride also took place in Horwich, starting at Decathlon, Middlebrook Retail Park.\n<\/p>\n \n \n Cycling UK hopes that events like these will help drive the changes<\/a> they want to see in the way safety is handled across the country.\n<\/p>\n \n ALSO READ: Bolton youth club given access to bowling green<\/a>\n<\/p>\n \n ALSO READ: Khadija picks up yet another accolade from Cycling UK<\/a>\n<\/p>\nWomen from across Bolton took part (Image: Phil Taylor)\n<\/p>\n
