2010 Sky Ride Locals a big success
Published 10 May 2011
Our programme of fun, traffic-free Sky Ride Local rides was a huge success in 2010.
Thousands of people enjoyed the opportunity to go on a local led ride and see their area from a new perspective. British Cycling trained hundreds of Ride Leaders to guide groups on rides of different lengths and durations – and Ride Leaders did a great job of sharing their experience and enthusing the groups about bike riding.
British Cycling has now completed a full evaluation of the Sky Ride Local programme, and the evidence shows that for many people who took part, the rides were just the spur they needed to get back on their bikes more regularly.
