Melissa Stockwell – Trek Triathlete – Paralympian – Colorado, USA

To Melissa, cycling means the freedom to get outside with her bike. After losing her leg, learning to bike again was the most freeing feeling, she proved to herself that she could still get out there and do anything she wanted to do.

“I see how other women ride and they inspire me to get out there and push myself to be better. A better athlete, a better mom and just all around better. I am so grateful for all the women I have met through the cycling community!”

Melissa’s favorite ride: "Living in Colorado Springs, my favorite ride is up Cheyenne Canyon, a short 3.2 mile ride with an elevation gain of 1300 feet. I love grabbing my Trek Madone on a nice day and pushing myself up the canyon!”

Marijn de Vries – Trek Ambassador – Netherlands

For Marijn, cycling is the perfect way to clear her head.

“I started riding a bike when I was 28. It turned out I was pretty talented, so when I was 30, I started a project: can you still become a professional when you’re 30 years old? Leontien van Moorsel was the one who invited me to train with her UCI women’s team because she thought my project was interesting. Follow your heart, she taught me, because otherwise you will keep thinking “what if...” for the rest of your life. @mariannevosofficial encouraged me to start racing. You’re never too old, she said. Age is of no importance in the professional women’s peloton. It all appeared to be true. I was a professional for six years after that, but I’m sure I wouldn’t have been there without the encouragement of the best in the world.”

Marijn’s favorite ride: “When I was a professional, I used to stay in Girona, Spain in winter. It’s cycling paradise. The roads are perfect and quiet, the area is stunning and has everything you need: flat, hills, mountains. The climate is lovely. Since my retirement from professional racing, I organise (women’s) cycling trips in Girona. We can’t do that right now due to COVID and every day I realise how I miss that magical place.”

Tanisha Critchlow – Trek Ambassador – NYC, USA.

To Tanisha, cycling means joy, fun, and freedom. It has given her the ability to visit new places, meet new people, stay active, and find peace along the way.

“The other women in the cycling community have inspired me to be a better rider and helped me be a better teacher to those who are just starting out on their bikes. I see these amazing women on their bikes - solo and group rides - and they never cease to amaze me when it comes to bringing the community of women together and giving you that push you need both on the bike and off.”

Tanisha’s favorite ride: “My go-to ride will always be my favorite Rockaway Loop. It takes you through the base of Brooklyn to the beautiful beaches of the Rockaways. From Prospect Park it is about 30-40 mile loop depending on your route and you get a great mix of EVERYTHING!”

For women around the world, bikes serve as a source of freedom, strength, and unity. But—as every woman knows—taking your first pedal stroke can be the hardest part of any adventure.

Always remember—even when you’re riding solo you’re never really alone. There are women and millions of others riding and rooting for you from every corner of the world.

In the days leading up to International Women’s Day on March 8th, we will be sharing what cycling means to some of our ambassadors and athletes around the world. Get to know them, and honor International Women’s Day by welcoming a new rider into the cycling community.
