Meet the Ride Leaders

  • Ray Morgan Hello,
    My grandson and I regularly enjoy cycling together and recently I gained great satisfaction from enabling the Head of English at a large Upper School to discover, for the first time, that she could ride a bike.
    I love opening up opportunities for people, especially the young, to visit their friends, relatives, the park, library, swimming pool and countryside, independently, at little or no cost.
    By doing ‘Bikeability’, the new version of Cycling Proficiency, I see people grow in confidence and achieve much more than they thought they could.
    I look forward to sharing some new, exciting rides and chatting with you on a Skyride soon.
