Bikehouse has held events for the Women’s Ride Month for the last seven years and will be doing it again next month.
Senior ride consultant Nat Munns said more men than women biked and it wanted to help close that gap.
"I guess we started it because we felt like biking is quite a male-dominated industry and we wanted to make a platform for women to feel confident and to meet other women.
"It’s for any women that currently or want to ride a bike, and for all genres of biking," she said.
The month-long event will offer a range of activities.
People can sign up for them either through the store’s Facebook page or at the launch party being held on October 5 in the Bikehouse store in Stuart St.
Bikehouse is holding events such as dig day, where people will go out and help maintain the mountainbiking tracks on Signal Hill and enjoy a barbecue afterwards.
Other activities include bike pilates, where people will get a pilates session which focuses on the muscle groups used for bike riding, and a pedal-to-pub road ride, in which riders will meet at Emersons, do the port-to-port loop before taking the ferry across the harbour with Port to Port Cruises, then pedalling back down to Emersons for drinks and food.
The Bikehouse will run 17 events throughout the month and will continue to hold a Dunner stunner mountainbike ride on Wednesdays and a Friday 6am road blast till the end of summer.
