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.

Go off-road with Sky Ride Local

Trail rides from Sky Ride Local

Riding round the tarmac streets of your neighbourhood or to and from work is all very well, but sometimes there's nothing like the feel of a dirt track beneath your wheels...

So why not get out and explore the countryside with the new off-road rides from Sky Ride Local? Our Off-Road Ride Steady routes offer mostly traffic-free bike riding for the family and new cyclist, while our Off-Road Ride Well routes are a little more challenging and almost entirely road-free. Leave your road bikes behind and come and enjoy the scrunch of gravel and the squelch of mud with us!

Our Off-Road rides are taking place in and close to Birmingham, Bradford, Blackburn & Darwen, Bournemouth and the New Forest, northern Kent, Ipswich, Leicester and Rutland, London, Manchester, Preston, Southampton and across Surrey.
