Mums are special everyday, but it is nice to have a whole special day to spoil them that little bit extra.
We’ve been looking at pictures of our favourite kind of mums, mums on bikes. There are some pretty good ones out there from vintage pictures, mums when they were younger, mums with kids on the back of bikes, celebrity mums and so much more we decided to make a Pinterest board and launch an Instagram competition.
Whether you have a cycling mum or are a mum yourself, we want to see your mums on bikes pictures. Post a picture on Instagram, Tag us in @cyclechic_uk and add the hashtag #mumsonBikes for a chance to win a helmet which you are more than welcome to give to your mum. We will announce the winner on Friday 4th March.
The winning photo will be awarded, the helmet equivalent of a gold medal, The Bobbin Gold helmet, modeled here by Cyclechic’s very own Lavinia Smith, Cycling Mum of two!
On that note, here are some examples of Mums on bikes:
Famous cyclist Eileen Sheridan cycling to school with her son Clive. In 1854 she broke the Land’s End to John O’Groats record by completing the 970-mile ride in eleven hours and seven minutes with hardly any rest.
This is my Mum and Aunt in Trinidad in 1947. My Mum is the little one, just look at her chubby little knees. My mum rocks but she is less of a cycling mum and more of a “Are you bring that wet bike into my house?”, “Don’t forget your helmet” kind of mum. I love this picture because it’s probably the closest I’ve ever seen her to a bike and she looks like she loves it. It makes me think she probably secretly loves having muddy bikes in her hallway.

This picture of a mother and her baby was taken in Nepalgunj, Nepal where bicycle travel is the usual transportation. From Pinterest
And Cyclechic founder Caz Nicklin, with her daughter, Florence on her virgin voyage upon a bike, the beginning of many bikey Mum and daignter adventures.
