Whether you want to get fit, race or just get around under your own steam, we have a range of ways to help you get into cycling.

If you're just starting out the Let's Ride platform is the perfect place for you to dip your toe in the water. With friendly local rides led by experienced ride leaders and big city rides to inspire your whole family, with the aim of helping you discover your world on two wheels.

Breeze Challenge Events are exclusively for women.

Our award-winning Breeze programme is a big part of our ambition to get one million more women cycling by 2020, with fun, friendly, informal rides led by women, for women.

We also offer Rider Development Sessions for Women and Girls.  These sessions give riders the opportunity to ride with friends and others of a similar ability, develop bike handling techniques, learn about group riding techniques and develop cycling fitness. View a list of the current sessions on the British Cycling events page.

For those who want to step their cycling up a gear, there is comprehensive calendar of sportive events offers challenging rides throughout the year to suit a variety of abilities.
