Happy Bike Week! 🚲

Bike Week is the UK’s biggest celebration of cycling and demonstrates how cycling can make everyday life better for people across the country.

But did you know? Women are significantly less likely to cycle than men, and for migrant women the barriers can be even greater. Language, confidence, access to bikes, and a lack of safe, supportive spaces are all factors that contribute to lower participation.

Europia believes that everybody should have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of cycling. That's why we're excited to be working with Transport for Greater Manchester to offer free Learn to Ride sessions for migrant women in a welcoming and supportive environment. 💗🚺

Whether you've never ridden a bike before or want to build your confidence, we'd love to welcome you.

Details to be announced soon 🚴‍♀️

Every June, Bulgaria’s Rose Valley blooms as the famous Rose Festival begins. 🌹

Held in the town of Kazanlak, the festival celebrates Bulgaria’s rose-growing tradition and the harvesting of the Damask rose used in cosmetics around the globe. In fact, 70% of the world's rose oil comes from Kazanlak's Rose Valley!

The festival is marked by traditional folk music and dancing, rose-picking rituals, parades and the crowning of the Rose Queen. 👑

This year's festivities begin today, on 6th June. Happy Rose Festival! 🇧🇬
