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.

Preston bike breakfast 2011

Preston cycle commuters got some welcome advice and sustenance from British Cycling at a special event recently, designed to encourage more people to ride to work.

Organised in partnership with the START campaign, a national initiative to promote and celebrate sustainable living, the event in Winckley Square Gardens on 21st September offered around forty cyclists free breakfasts. Local Police staff were on hand to postcode stamp bikes, and there was bike maintenance assistance from Sutcliffe's bikes, as well as information and advice from Lancashire County Council, Preston City Council, Cycling Projects, Preston on Wheels and British Cycling's Regional Recreation Manager Peter Haymes.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, and to Kelloggs for supporting the event.
