Staying Safe As You Cycle
The LUCA blog serves as a comprehensive resource for female cyclists, combining expert health advice, community-building events, safety guidelines, and product highlights.
Expert Health and Wellness
LUCA has introduced Harriet, a Clinical Lead Physiotherapist at Third Space Wimbledon, to support the community. Harriet holds a Master’s degree in Physiotherapy and specializes in helping athletes optimize performance and recover from sports injuries, including those related to cycling. To help members stay strong on the bike, she offers complimentary 15-minute consultations or body reviews. Notably, Harriet is personally training for the Ironman 70.3 in Mallorca.
Community Events and Advocacy
The blog highlights several opportunities for women to connect and grow in the sport:
International Women's Day (IWD) 2025: LUCA celebrated IWD with a call to redefine the "girl's girl" narrative, focusing on mutual support, celebrating others' wins, and viewing fellow women as teammates.
Special Events: The brand participated in SHE Thrives in Cardiff on March 7th and hosted an inspiring IWD event on March 8th in partnership with Moloko Cycling, Canyon, and therhiclub.
LUCA x PSYCLE: A high-octane spin class event is scheduled for Saturday, March 29th at Psycle Victoria, featuring instructor Naomi Tolan.
Practical Safety and Gear
To ensure women feel confident on every ride, the blog provides an 18-point safety checklist, including tips such as:
Planning well-lit routes and avoiding solo night rides.
Wearing reflective or bright clothing and using bike lights even during the day.
Trusting instincts and utilizing social cycling networks like the Cliq Cycling Community.
Additionally, the blog features the Amore T-Shirt, a premium heavyweight 100% organic cotton staple designed with a bold "Amore" print on the back to represent self-love and community.
