Meet the Ride Leaders

  • Steven Snell Steven Snell Hi,

    I am a keen rider and like to get out as much as I can. I live in the wolds so tend to go out and about around this area. I am just keen to work with as many people, new and old to cycling and to get as many people as active as possible!

    Happy sky riding.
  • Helen Dearnley Helen Dearnley An artist and cyclist, I ride to get out of the studio, go exploring - my bike has black feathers to follow a Rhiannon / blackbird theme that runs throughout my practice as an artist - and I also come from South Holland, so I'm into Dutch cycling culture as well as all things Scandinavian ;-)
    I sell illustrated cycling prints etc via Redbubble, such as Cyclopolis: http://www.redbubble.com/people/blackbird76/works/12219888-cyclopolis

    I'm also an NSI Bikeability Instructor.
