Simply Sorcha is a space where cycling, design, activism and community meet. We work across sport, culture and advocacy to build systems that are fairer, safer and more inclusive, both on and off the bike.
Our work is rooted in experience, solidarity and care. Some of it happens in workshops and velodromes. Some of it happens in meeting rooms, classrooms and campaigns. All of it is connected..
★★★★★
Simply Sorcha changed how I see cycling and activism as connected practices. It is a space where bikes are built, fitted and repaired with real care, and where conversations about feminism, queer and trans liberation, and access matter.
The coaching builds confidence as much as skill, and the community is genuinely supportive. Simply Sorcha is not just about cycling. It is about belonging, learning and being part of meaningful change.

Each item is chosen with care. This is about preservation, reuse and respect for cycling’s past.

- support for riders returning after time away
- fittings that respect gender diversity and bodily autonomy
A good fit changes how cycling feels. It should never feel exclusionary or clinical.
A Connected Practice
Everything we do is connected.
Cycling is political. Design is ethical. Access matters. Bodies matter. Community matters.
Whether you are here to fix a frame, join a club, buy a vintage jersey, book a talk or simply read and reflect, you are welcome.
Simply Sorcha is not just a service. It is a practice.
