FEMMES FIRST 2024

Cycle on Land and in the Water


Singapore’s first female-focused cycling event FEMMES FIRST returned on 20 July 2024 at the beautiful PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, Singapore with a unique event where you can cycle on land and in the water.


The inaugural FEMMES FIRST in 2023 saw over 500 participants cycling to Sports Hub to witness the inaugural Wonder of Women (WoW) Awards that celebrates empowered female cyclists for their contributions to non-profit work.


For the 2024 Femmes First participants enjoyed an early morning ride around scenic Marina Bay precinct with WoW inductees followed a relaxing pool-side breakfast and aqua aerobics in the hotel pool with The Ripple Club's aqua bikes. 


Three amazing female cyclists Rebecca Lim, Trecia Lim and Irene Tan were then inducted into WoW and participants had a chance to hear their amazing back stories as cyclists and community leaders.


One lucky female participant also got to win a one-night staycation at the amazing PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, Singapore.

The Ripple Club was started by co-founder Alicia Antonuccio was diagnosed with Patellofemoral syndrome in 2007. With all sport, except swimming, aqua aerobics, or aqua biking, off-limits, she tried the latter and was hooked. It was the one thing that helped to keep her knee pain at bay. When she moved to Singapore in 2011 and was unable to find anything similar, she and her husband, Yannick Dedigama, decided to build their own aqua fitness community. In 2012, they quit their jobs, bought 13 aqua bikes and established Aquaspin™ (now The Ripple Club), and the rest, as they say, is history!
