CYCLE Techiyalesh
In 2022, Egre Menged piloted its second project, a women's bicycle training called ‘Cycle Techyalesh, ትችያለሽ’ (you (female) can ride a bicycle).
It was launched in October 2022 in collaboration with Lem Ketema, a local NGO.
Cycle Techyalesh, ትችያለሽ project is Addis Ababa’s big-scale free Women's Bicycle Training program.
The project aims to empower women through cycling and bring gender equity to the streets. Therefore, the project provides bicycles, helmets, and reflection vests and trains females to cycle and be safe on the roads and confident in an environment mainly led by men and motorized transportation.
Over 50 women have learned how to cycle, maintain their bicycles, and road safety since the start of the project.
