This friendly, gentle-paced bike ride is perfect for all confidence levels, including those getting back into the saddle and recent learners. Expect an easy 5–6 mile outing with plenty of pauses, a relaxed refreshment stop halfway, and a total time of around two hours.
This ride is ideal if you want to:
- Build your confidence riding around the local area without any pressure.
- Get some light exercise that feels more like a walk on wheels than a workout.
- Spend time outdoors enjoying nature and your neighbourhood.
- Meet friendly people and share a fun, sociable activity.
If you can pedal, steer and brake, you’re very welcome – you don’t need to be an experienced cyclist. Complete beginners are encouraged to book a free lesson with Camden Council first, then join us to put your new skills into practice.
The ride runs on the first Saturday of every month, with a gently varied route using cycleways, quiet roads and parks, and always that all‑important café/refreshment stop.
Children and vulnerable adults are welcome, but must be accompanied by an adult who remains responsible for them throughout the ride.
Bike checkups:
We offer bike checks before the ride and can help you with minor fixes such as pumping tyres, mending punctures, adjusting brakes and gears. Please arrive a little earlier at 9:30am if you would like a bike check.
Borrowing a bike:
We have bikes to borrow – please book a ticket with a bike to reserve one and arrive a little earlier at 9:45am to give time to setup the bike for you. Please bring a helmet if you have one (we have some to borrow, but bring your own to ensure it fits well)
