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.
1 hours 25 mins  (45 mins cycling)
Bike Type You probably don’t want to drag your road bike across bumpy trails. Maybe you want to make the most of the suspension on your mountain bike. This helps you match your ride to your bike.

Sky Ride Local in Bradford

Not cycled for a while and looking for an easy way to get back in the saddle? Fancy a fun way to get your friends or kids riding? Our Easygoing rides are great for building confidence for all abilities and ages along relaxed, mostly traffic-free routes. They’re up to six miles long, with a gentle pace of around six miles an hour.

Come an join us at the Black History Month Cycle Event.  This is a family/novice ride in the award-winning Lister Park. The traffic-free ride uses the wider roadways through the park and avoids the "big hill". The park has so much to offer - the magnificent Cartwright Hall is a must-see and one of six listed buildings within the park. Don't miss the floral clock, wonderful formal gardens and the Moghul water feature and fountains. No wonder Lister Park won Britain's Best Park back in 2006 and what better way to explore it than by bike? You can choose to do two or three laps of the park and there's a great lakeside cafe for refreshments. Feel free to bring your own picnic if the weather is fine.
