Meet the Ride Leaders

  • Robert Howard Hi i am a keen cyclist who cycles almost everyday the highlight is the cycle home from work up to the top of Hampstead Heath i think it is the highest point in north London and its great to complete everyday.

    Normally stuck behind a desk all day so this is a great way to commute & exercise all in one,

    my reason for being a skyride leader is to meet & encourage other cyclists and to be part of the cycle evolution.

    My tip to newbie cyclists is to start small and build up slowly, plan your routes and enjoy the experience.
  • Ian Curran I find cycling is a great way of getting around, seeing the countryside and keeping fit without the monotony of the gym. I have seen a lot of people taking up cycling and many find they really enjoy it once they have built up their confidence and skills. I have cycled on my own or with cycling clubs since I was about seven and enjoy it more each year. I would like to help others take it up and enjoy it
