Following two years of research in local archives around Sussex, SBS created a pop up, touring exhibition which travelled to partner locations in June & September 2024, where it was seen by an estimated 38,300 visitors.
The exhibition was presented as a series of themes which emerged during research – from clothing to rides, races & events; pioneering lady bicyclists, clubs & cycling suffragists; as well as current cycling clubs, promoting learning to ride & maintenance sessions for women.
