Tram and Lake Loop

Sky Ride Local in Croydon

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.

Join us on this easy circular ride - perfect for families and those new to cycling. We'll make a gentle and very scenic loop around lovely South Norwood Country Park, taking in the lake and some great views across to Canary Wharf. Please note that although this ride is one of our accessible routes it does contain some gravel sections.
 
This ride has been British Cycling assessed as an accessible route, meaning it is suitable for the majority of adaptive bikes. The route will have no or low levels of traffic, there will be plenty of space and will have a good surface throughout.

  I have ridden a bike in central London for over thirty years and I enjoy cycling at a steady pace.
  I have taken my daugher to nursary in a child seat and then to school on a tandem although I suspect I did all the pedaling.
