What are the benefits?
Guided bike rides are a brilliant team-building exercise for your organisation, providing a healthy and invigorating way to bring staff together with shared experience.
They're suitable for all standards of cyclist, especially beginners, who benefit from being looked after by experienced marshals at all times.
Leisure rides can be used as a reward or motivational tool, while guided commuter rides have been shown to encourage people to become more regular daily cyclists, with benefits to your organisation.
Rides make excellent news items to publicise your organisation internally or externally, and we have excellent contacts with photographers used to shooting this kind of event.
What do we provide?
Whether it's an after-work or weekend leisure activity or a morning commuter ride, we take care of everything, making sure every participant has the most enjoyable, educational and safe experience possible.
Once you've made us aware of your overall needs, we'll assign you a ride leader who'll assess the skills of your group.
The leader will devise a route, take care of timings, organise refreshments if necessary, and suggest suitable pre-ride maintenance options.
On the day, they'll make sure there are sufficient trained marshals, and they'll confidently lead the ride, dealing with any contingencies, such as mechanical problems.

What they said…
“The Cycle Fridays were great, showing me routes through parts of London that I had never seen before. The marshals gave great advice and I gained loads of confidence cycling to work. Now I cycle Enfield to Holborn regularly. Well done!” John Kelly, Enfield
