Sky Ride is back for 2014
Sky Ride is back for the sixth year running! We’re delighted to announce the locations and dates of this year’s big traffic-free Sky Ride bike events.
We’ll be taking over town and city centres from Plymouth to NewcastleGateshead, allowing thousands of cyclists to ride together with friends and family on some stunning traffic-free routes. In what’s shaping up to be an exciting summer of cycling with the Tour de France, Commonwealth Games and Tour of Britain all taking place in the UK, there’s never been a better time to get on a bike.

Sky Ride ambassador Sir Chris Hoy said: ‘We want more people to enjoy riding a bike – that’s why Sky and British Cycling have teamed up to bring you Sky Ride. We’ve made it easier than ever to get out on your bike and spend quality time with your family and friends.
‘Sky Rides close towns and cities for big bike events so you can ride safely on traffic-free streets, with a huge festival atmosphere and loads to do both on and off the bike. They are great fun and a great way to get on your bike.’
This year our friends at Halfords are offering all Sky Riders a free bike check (worth £14.99), and what’s more, if you’re one of the first thousand people to register for a Sky Ride event, you’ll be able to pick up a limited edition gift on the day too.
British Cycling and Sky are also working together to deliver Sky Ride Local guided rides which are a series of free small, weekly community bikes rides that take place every Sunday and give participants the chance to get out and explore their local area in over one hundred locations as well as Breeze and Ride Social rides throughout the country.
