Constantly, we kept coming across the fact that women (regardless of fitness, nationality, and creed) are one of the most underrepresented groups in cycling.<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Throughout the magazine\u2019s existence, we\u2019ve been bringing you articles and observations on what specific challenges and obstacles are women facing during a simple everyday commute or even while being a part of the sport\u2019s pro scene. This year, we\u2019re focusing our attention on breaking those barriers down. We believe that given the right motivation and information, anybody can find their reason to ride. The key is to accommodate specific needs and issues that might arise from not knowing all your options and if there\u2019s one thing we hate, it\u2019s to see amazing opportunities go to waste.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.spotify.com\/?uri=spotify:user:welovecycling:playlist:7BtKCoUQw2hAGkuevhKA67\" width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>We believe that by dispelling the common myths and by creating a welcoming environment and support base, cycling can be truly empowering. Thanks to \u0160koda AUTO\u2019s deep passion for cycling, we were able to start paving the way further in a different direction. As a cyclist, you might have encountered trams, trains, buses or other means of transport not always being so user-friendly towards transporting your bike alongside you. As we said, we believe in bringing down barriers and to do so you need to start with things that are close to you and that you use on a daily basis. Such as cars. Multiple \u0160koda car models are adjusted to cyclists either by equipment or dimensions, which not only women might find attractive.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-164380 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/04\/IMG_5934-1.webp'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/04\/IMG_5934-1-1024x682.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/04\/IMG_5934-1-1024x682.webp 1024w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/04\/IMG_5934-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/04\/IMG_5934-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/04\/IMG_5934-1-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/04\/IMG_5934-1-1920x1280.webp 1920w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/04\/IMG_5934-1-272x182.webp 272w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/04\/IMG_5934-1.webp 2000w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/04\/IMG_5934-1-1920x1280.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/04\/IMG_64101.webp'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/04\/IMG_64101-1024x682.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/04\/IMG_64101-1024x682.webp 1024w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/04\/IMG_64101-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/04\/IMG_64101-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/04\/IMG_64101-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/04\/IMG_64101-1920x1280.webp 1920w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/04\/IMG_64101-272x182.webp 272w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/04\/IMG_64101.webp 2000w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/04\/IMG_64101-1920x1280.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Why we ride then?
