What is Sky Ride?

Sky Ride is by far the greatest excuse to have fun on your bike! Right across the summer, Sky and British Cycling are providing a host of leisure cycling opportunities for beginners, kids, families and the most confident riders. Whether it's traffic-free mass participation rides through our cities or smaller, led-group rides through the countryside, there's something to suit you. Sky Ride cycling events are perfect for people of all ages who want to get healthier, fitter and happier. And it’s good for the environment. If you’re looking for a new challenge, want to meet other riders or just a family day out with a difference, Sky Ride is for you.

Skyride is coming to Bradford on 29th August 2010. For more information click here==========================================================
