Happy International Women’s Day! 💜✨

Today, I want to celebrate the 3 strongest, most incredible women I know—my mum, my wife, and my sister. They're not just inspiring; they're my rock, my biggest supporters, and the heart behind my journey. Almost three years ago, they stood beside me as I launched my business from my doorstep, selling samosa chaats on match days. It was just a dream back then—one we built together, with hard work, late nights, and so much love.

From those early days to now being featured in amazing local artisan markets, this journey has been nothing short of incredible. And none of it would have been possible without their unwavering belief and support in me.

To my mum, my wife, and my sister, my amazing customers, my supporters, well-wishers, and everyone who has ever cheered me on—thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your love, shares, and encouragement keep me going every single day.

While we celebrate the amazing women in our lives, let’s also take a moment to remember those who are grieving—the children who have lost their mothers to the corrupt world and wars, and the mothers who have had to endure the unbearable pain of losing their children. My heart goes out to them. No woman, no mother, no child should ever have to experience such loss.

So today, I celebrate not just the women in my life but all the strong, powerful, and inspiring women out there. Tag a woman who has made a difference in your life and let her know how much she means to you. 💜

Onwards and upwards! 🚀

Was amazing to be a part of the opening of Lightwaves, and even more so, being a part of one of the installations, "System-Lighwaves PSB" just outside the Lowry, with the incredible artist @gaikasees A piece that challenges our perceptions of the bike, riding for survival in a climate that is forever changing.

Lighwaves is incredible, beautiful, thought-provoking, and accessible for all and free. Not to be missed!!

Hey, what do, Bikes, Lights + Art + British Musician, Producer, Rapper, Internationally Renown Visual & Performance Artist Gaika @gaikasees with a Bicycle Mayor thrown in, have in common, LIGHTWAVES!!

The 14 illuminated works from established as well as emerging artists, both local, national and international, bringing a variety of different pieces; thought-provoking, surprising and playful.

One of the installations is a collaboration between GM Bicycle Mayor and Gaika @gaikasees is a British singer, songwriter multi-disciplinary artist who creates the most incredible art installations. The piece we have created will provoke thought, with a different and powerful perspective to the bike that has not yet been seen before.

Bee Pedal Ready will also be leading an illuminated Bike Ride in collaboration with Lightwaves Salford 2024 on Sunday 8th December @ 4pm. The link to register your place on the ride is the bio linktree.

Would be amazing to see you there, art,+ culture + bikes + changing the narrative.

When you are committed to outdoor yoga but you live in Manchester... 🤪☔️

A huge thank you to the wonderful community at @mediacityuk who rolled out their mats and embraced the rain during our 45-minute outdoor yoga session today.

We’re so grateful we could come together, have fun, and not let a little bad weather rain on our yoga plans! Your positive attitudes are truly inspiring. 🫶🏼

Thank you so much @weinventedtheweekend for having us at your amazing festival! 🤩
