Overall Duration On a long ride, it’s sometimes good to have a little break in the middle, or maybe a catch up at the beginning or end to keep it sociable. This means that the overall ride duration may be longer than the actual cycling time.

Breeze Bike Rides in Bradford

This is an easy ride along the towpath to Toby's Tea Rooms near Apperley Bridge, with a very short stretch of quiet road at Dockfield.


It’s a good idea to bring some water, snack to keep you going and money for if we stop at a cafe.


Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part.  If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then. 


We really welcome newcomers to our rides; we will always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind.


All you need is a roadworthy bike, sensible clothing and a bit of enthusiasm. It helps to have a spare inner tube of the correct size - just in case.


My contact number on the day is 07940 975 971


I look forward to you joining us.


Don’t forget…. Breeze are on a mission to spread the word about their rides, and need your help. If you introduce one friendwho goes on to take part in a Breeze ride, you’ll receive a Breeze water bottle, introduce a second friend, you’ll be the proud owner of one of their swish Breeze Buffs, and introduce a third friend and Breeze will send you £15 of Love2Shop vouchers.

  • Judy Robinson Judy Robinson I may not be the youngest kid on the block, but riding my bike again after so many years has certainly made me feel it. I don't go fast or far, but my aim is to get more women out cycling, share the fun that I'm having and get fitter in the process.
