Central London Four Parks

Sky Ride Local in London

Despite totalling just over 4 miles, this easy Central London loop packs in four of the capital's parks, including the daddy of them all, Hyde Park. Highlights include Buckingham Palace and the Diana Memorial fountain whilst there's the Hyde Park cafe‚ for refreshments. Traffic-free, flat and on largely tarmac paths, this ride is ideal for all types of bikes and will suit novice riders.

Hi my name is Nathan and I am very excited about being a Skyride Leader. I have been riding since I was 6 when I got my first bike and in that time have had loads of fun and adventures whilst cycling, meeting some great people and seeing some amazing places I would not have done were it not for my bike. I want to share my love of cycling with other people, so that they too can discover for the first time or maybe again what fun it is to be on a bike. My background is in recreational and touring cycling rather than racing, although I have flirted with racing, so I fully understand about people just getting out to have fun on their bike. I look forward to meeting you and us going for a ride together.

I'm an enthusiastic leisure rider, never happier than when riding along the Thames or beside some of Europe's beautiful rivers too!

I am a fully accredited Bikeability Instructor and Cytech 2 qualified mechanic.

Other interests are travel, coarse fishing and archaeology...the older the better!

I hope to see you on a Skyride soon.
