Mango Bikes gets behind Her Spirit pledging their support with every sale

Her Spirit has partnered with Mango Bikes to give every woman the opportunity to cycle and experience the benefits of being more active.

Only one in three women choose cycling as a way to be more active, a stat that Her Spirit and Mango Bikes both want to change.

The firm wants to support the Her Spirit team to hit their target of changing one million women’s lives by 2020. So, for every bike sold using the checkout code GoHer19, Mango Bikes will donate 5% of the full sale price to Her Spirit.

According to research from British Cycling, men currently account for 69% of the UK’s cycling population. Barriers such as confidence on the roads, cycling infrastructure and concerns over safety are said to be key factors in deterring greater female participation.

Andrew Hassard, Managing Director of Mango Bikes, commented: “Mango is delighted to support Her Spirit to enable more women be active and live a healthier lifestyle.

“In our young family, we have a son and 3 daughters who we want to see growing up in a more sustainable world with a massively-reduced reliance on vehicles. Current patterns indicate there’s a good chance our son may cycle regularly, but his sisters are less likely to do so. Although female cyclists are increasing, their numbers are very low compared to males.

“As a Dad, and cycling company owner, I hope things will improve and want to contribute to beneficial change. Her Spirit is a wonderful initiative which Mango is proud to support”

Co-founder, Holly Woodford, said: “It’s brilliant to be working with such a forward-thinking brand such as Mango Bikes. Her Spirit is all about offering personalised coaching for your Mind, Body and Fuel and we love the fact that Mango Bikes allows women to choose the bike and look that they want at an affordable price.

“Cycling is a fantastic way to integrate activity into your everyday lifestyle and we want women to have fun and feel great while cycling. We know the barriers for women are significant and at Her Spirit we want to make cycling more of a lifestyle option. This can only be achieved by looking at all aspects of a woman’s life such as confidence and perceived capabilities.”

As a timely addition to Mango’s existing range they have designed a variety Her Spirit bikes, offering all the Mango options, bespoke finishes and individual specifications. These bikes are suitable for women cyclists of all ages, from absolute beginners to those with more experience behind the handlebars.
