Keep riding with Social Cycling Groups

Dreading the thought of parting ways with your bicycle when the colder weather arrives? Worried about letting your exercise start to slide, or fed up cycling on your lonesome? Then it’s time to discover the benefits of Social Cycling Groups.

During the colder months it can be tempting to look out the window and find an excuse not to go out for ride. Social Cycling Groups provides the inspiration and support you need to continue cycling all year through.  Rob Ricketts, founding member of ‘Don’t stop for winter’, a group based in Chester, explains: ‘Committing to a group like this encourages me to get out, keep my fitness levels up and enjoy the changing seasons on my bike. Meeting up with like-minded cyclists in the winter is the perfect excuse to ride out to that nice cafe and warm up with a coffee, cake and a chat before cycling home.’

Michael McCaffrey from Leeds agrees: ‘I’d tried to persuade friends to join me with no success, so I decided to use Social Cycling Groups. Now my group ‘Cookridge and beyond’ is going from strength to strength. I particularly enjoy meeting new friends, and the exercise is an additional reward. We encourage each other to keep cycling and continue to visit our favourite haunts throughout the winter months.’

With more than 30,000 buddies and over 660 Social Cycling Groups already up and running throughout the UK, It’s now easier than ever to ease into autumn and winter. It’s the perfect time for those who want to enjoy both nature and the pleasure of riding in the outdoors. So make it your time to turn over a new leaf and join the UK’s largest social network for cyclists.
