Haven’t cycled in a while? Why not join us on one of these short, easy paced rides taking place around York this summer and make new friends along the way? These are free group rides suitable for cyclists of all ages and abilities and are particularly suited to those who haven’t cycled for a while. All rides are led by trained volunteer ride leaders.
