We love bikes. We love skirts.
Most times, these two don’t mix. Despite being a small barrier, it does prevent women from making the most of their two-wheeled adventures.
What started out as a simple idea using a penny and a rubber band quickly grew into a worldwide sensation. Women in cities all over the world were throwing on their favourite skirts, popping in their pennies, and cycling the streets worry free! Read more about the amazing story of how we started.
New and Improved Penny in Yo' Pants!
While the penny and rubber band are simple and cheap - women were telling us that it's aggressive on the fabric and isn't always graceful to put in. Our new and improved Penny in Yo' Pants puck makes it even easier and more stylish for you to wear your skirts on your bike.
We’ve handcrafted Penny in Yo' Pants to fit neatly into your bag or pocket. The puck is faux leather with an aluminium coin that fits neatly in between the slot on the puck. The two snap together when you aren't using them - you can also use them as a brooch or scarf clasp. If you lose the special penny, don't worry! It can be replaced with any currency coin.

How it works
Using Penny in Yo' Pants is super easy - just follow these steps.
Put on your most favourite skirt.
Place the puck against the front of the skirt and hold in place.
Behind your skirt, push the penny through both layers of skirt and through the puck.
Adjust the penny and fabric so it sits comfortably.
Now throw your leg over the saddle and you are off!

You can even use your Penny on your scarf or as a lovely brooch.
Penny for Good
We feel very strongly in power of the bicycle, especially for women. For every Penny in Yo' Pants you buy - we will donate 5% of the sale to support the Afghanistan Women’s Cycling team. This amazing group of women are defying repressive tradition by getting on their bikes and competing for their country.

With more support – they can train and compete regularly which will create more awareness for their cause and more opportunities for other women.
We are collaborating with Shannon Galpin and the American nonprofit Mountain 2 Mountain who have been working closely to help develop the team.
Each time you wear your Penny in Yo’ Pants, you will be supporting women who are changing their country one ride at a time.
We want to help women feel confident in the streets - in Scotland, Afghanistan and all over the world!
