Sky Ride

2012 has been an amazing year for cycling and our Sky Ride city events have been some of the best ever! We've enjoyed some great traffic-free bike rides in towns and cities up and down the country.

Sky Ride Local rides are fun, free community bike rides that offer a great way of getting out and exploring your local area and meeting like-minded people.

Breeze is the biggest programme ever to get more women into riding bikes for fun. Our aim is to help thousands more women feel confident and comfortable about going on a ride.

A social network exclusively for cyclists, Social Cycling Groups makes it easy to get together, find a place to ride and enjoy a bike ride at a level and time that suits you.

Fun, informative and hands-on workshops to help you take your bike maintenance know-how to the next level.

New Forest Road Ride

Published 9 March 2012

Passing gorgeous scenery, wildlife and heritage sites, this pretty New Forest route is a cracker.

New Forest Road Ride

Route description

This 14 mile circular foray into the less wild parts of the pretty New Forest is the perfect way to explore rural Southampton by bike. Add to this the excitement of passing the Otter and Owl Wildlife Centre, and a stop off at Eling Creek with its 900 year old tradition of producing flour, and you've got yourself a perfect Sunday out.
