Cycle Buddies in the NHS

Our NHS Cycle Buddies programme puts NHS and hospital workers who want help to cycle more in touch with people who want to help them – colleagues who are already cycling into work or local people who are confident cycling. Buddies can meet up and ride together – to work, or maybe at first just to the local park for practice.

Cycle Buddies has already helped NHS key workers across London back on their bikes – what are you waiting for?

Note: please sign up using your NHS email address where possible, in order to help us connect up staff from the same NHS Trusts.
