Wellbeing Cycle Rides

We welcome anyone competent on a bike, who would like to cycle in a social group to improve general wellbeing, keep active and explore the local area. 

We have been organising cycle rides since 2003. All rides are free and are led by trained and experienced volunteers. 

Joining a ride

If you are on joining a cycle ride, please be aware:

  • time and length of routes vary, but all rides are at a gentle pace
  • ride routes make the most of the local cycle ways, such as the Thames towpath and cycle lanes, and we do not take groups on busy roads and junctions
  • all rides have a stop halfway to rest, refuel and socialise
  • if you fall behind, your group will wait for you at the next junction or safe place to stop

If you are new to our cycle rides, please arrive 10 minutes early and let the leader know. You will be asked to fill out a new cyclist registration form.

Cyclists joining our rides need an appropriate bike in good working order. If in doubt, have it checked by a local bike shop or qualified mechanic.
