Some good news in the cycling world: ‘We are in awe’ – Rapha launch hijab as part of modest-wear range
“Rapha‘s new modest-wear range, which includes a cycling-specific hijab, has left the riders of Muslim women’s cycling group Cycle Sisters “in awe”. The British brand launched its new Rapha Women collection, along with a new campaign – ‘This Is How We Ride’ – on Tuesday, which includes a hijab, a long jersey, and padded riding trousers. A press release said: “For too long, women in cycling have been overlooked, undervalued and made to ride and wear kit that limits self-expression. Rapha is determined to help change that narrative and strives to create cycling apparel that makes all riders feel empowered, comfortable and confident.””
Who are the Cycle Sisters? “Cycle Sisters is a registered charity that inspires and enables Muslim women to cycle.”
