Where will your bike take you?

Sky Ride city events are a nationwide series of summer events to encourage people to get back on their bikes. In 2010, over 200,000 people took part in free-mass participation rides all over the UK.

Sky Ride Local rides are fun, friendly and free community bike rides that help you get out and explore your local area. They’re led by a British Cycling trained ride leader who can provide support and give you a few tips, whatever your age or ability.

The Breeze network from British Cycling is all about fun, local bike rides for women, by women – and there's a whole range of support, training and ride opportunities too. The network's informal and relaxed. It’s what you want it to be.

Get the skills, grow in confidence and keep cycling! Whether you’re just starting out on a bike, thinking about cycling more, or simply nuts about bikes – there’s a British Cycling Bike Maintenance Workshop for you.

Cycletta, sponsored by Sky Ride, are an exciting new series of women only cycling events. Cycletta South on 11th September, near London, and Cycletta North on 2nd October near Manchester, offer the perfect opportunity for women to get in the saddle in a fun environment. Both events are 40km in distance and take place on fully closed roads, making them achievable, safe and most importantly, very enjoyable. Olympic Gold medallist Victoria Pendleton will be supporting cyclists of all abilities on the Cycletta journey to lend her advice and top training tips, and of course will be joining everyone on the start line.
