Are the rides right for me?

As long as you can pedal, balance and steer, you are welcome on our rides! We have a team of friendly and supportive Ride Leaders who run the rides and make sure that everyone is taken care of.
 
We ride at a gentle, sociable pace with plenty of chatting and time to enjoy our surroundings. All our rides have a cafe stop which is also an opportunity to get to know your fellow sisters as well as enjoying some tea and cake.

​

Our Hackney group rides are mostly intermediate rides (6-12 miles). Typical destinations include Clissold Park, Walthamstow Wetlands and Olympic Park. 

Do I need my own bike?

​

Free bikes are available to borrow for our group rides, thanks to our partnership with Hackney Council and Brompton.

Cycle Lessons
