After reading this article, I feel very uplifted and inspired that the women in Egypt, despite facing so many obstacles, still go out of their way to ride bicycles. Not only is it inappropriate for women to cycle in Egypt, they also face sexual harassment and endangerment due to not having a designated bike lane. I feel that these women in Egypt should be an example for all women that face obstacles in their lives not only about cycling but also about everyday problems. Not only do they embrace and fight the challenges they face in Egypt, but they also took it a step further by starting the organization Go Bike, a group that promotes cycling. Women like Shaimaa Ahmed are perfect examples not to give up when things get tough and failure occurs. Overall, I felt this reading was very encouraging and the concluding message said by Mohamed Samy was, “Try not to be scared. Forget those around you, challenge yourself and just enjoy,” which can essentially be applied to every obstacle in life.
