Sky Ride Local rides are small group cycle rides designed to get everyone cycling regularly in a fun and informal way. These are free rides, led by British Cycling trained ride leaders, who will guide participants along the route, and provide tips and advice on cycle safety and skills.

Rides vary in levels, from beginners to more experienced cyclists, so you can pick a level to suit your skills and enjoyment. Whatever level you choose, you'll be riding on safe routes, with your ride leaders. And if you haven't dusted off your bike for a while, they'll happily check it over for you.

Sky Ride Local is about as much fun as you can have on two wheels. But groups are limited, so you have to register.

For 2010 Sky Ride Local takes place in:

London | Bath | Southampton | Manchester | Middlesbrough | Glasgow | Leicester | Bradford | Blackpool | Birmingham | Preston
