Sky Ride Local in Wandsworth

Starting at Tooting Common join us to explore the 3 commons of South West London, all within Wandsworth.  This ride will take in Tooting, Clapham and Wandsworth commons and will give you a chance to relax, unwind and enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of these 3 beautiful commons located just a few miles from central London.  This ride is perfect for new and returning cyclists.

In addition to this great ride the Wandsworth Safer Transport Team will be at the start point an hour before the ride starts to provide FREE cycle security marking and advice to all participants.  Security marking your bike deters potential thieves as your bike can be easily traced if it is stolen.   Please ensure that you turn up in good time to have your bike marked as the free marking will finish 20 minutes before the ride is advertised to start.

Meet the Ride Leaders

  • James Dunlop I've been cycling to work for the last 5 years; I now also do it for fun! :-)

    Having just started doing sportives this year, I want to eventually try 250km in one day, as well as going up some properly big hills.

    Considering I grew up in a sleepy part of Scotland, if I can do this, anyone can!
