Biography

She has been employed at the Edinburgh Bicycle Cooperative on a part-time basis for several years, which allowed her the time to dedicate to her cycling career.[5] In October 2014 the Wiggle–Honda team announced that Roe would join them with immediate effect to ride in the Australian criterium season and the subsequent 2015 season.[6] Roe joined Belgian team Lares–Waowdeals for the 2016 season.[7] At the start of 2017, Roe became a member of the Team WNT squad.[8]
