A few years ago, Karabo Mashele did not even know how to ride a bicycle.
But these days, she leads women on group rides through Johannesburg as part of Girls on Bikes, an initiative she started to encourage more women to ride bikes.
She was encouraged by her brother Titi, who used to organise group rides in Soweto and noticed a lack of women taking part. My brother sat me down, and he was like, we really need to get more girls. I was like, theres no way. I dont know how to ride a bicycle, said Mashele.
