These women on the Trans Himalayan Cycling Tour are riding through ‘what will people say’

A fun Facebook post by feminist-activist Kamla Bhasin, of One Billion Rising, actually had a whole story behind it
Some time in March, feminist-activist Kamla Bhasin posted a Facebook message saying she had bought a cycle in time for her 75th birthday. She was looking for women her age to bike, and the group would be called Cycling Feminist Aunties in their Seventies. She also asked Hero Cycles to start a brand called Shero Cycles, which led to the message getting shared around social media, with over 400 comments just on her post. “It was a joke,” she says, though she does take her new cycle out for a spin around her colony. “My real inspiration to even buy a cycle was two young women who are cycling 56,000 kilometres for the One Billion Rising (OBR) campaign,” says Kamla, who is the South Asia coordinator for the worldwide campaign to end violence against women.
