Stillettos on Wheels will appeal to women that have been put off by competition before due to mixed events where specially new riders can feel out of place alongside men racers.
Started by Irene Lachner, the Stillettos on Wheels borrows a format already successful in Europe.
The first event in Sheffield will be held on 19th May with a call out for riders now.
The second event in Brighton on September 8th has already attracted 50 riders!
Riders jerseys are available to pre-order now and carry the Lezyne logo.
