Join a led ride

Join our FREE led rides and cycling activities which run throughout the year. Our rides provide great social opportunities to get out, take exercise and discover your local area by bike. We have cycle rides and activities for all ages and abilities to enjoy.

  • All our rides are free and led by our friendly and professional cycle trainers or Community Bike Ambassadors (CBAs)
  • No need to book, just turn up on the day
  • You can borrow a bike, trailer or tag-a-long FREE for the duration of the ride - just turn up 15 minutes before the ride starts
  • If you haven't ridden for a while, or are totally new to cycling, the team has everything you need to help make it as easy as possible to get on a bike
  • If you want to join a ride but don't feel confident getting to the start point we can pick you up from your home or workplace before the ride
  • Any queries or special requirements for the ride please let us know at move@herefordshire.gov.uk or call 01432 383262 and we will do our best to cater for your needs

All our rides start and finish at the Bike Hire Cabin (tennis courts), Bishops Meadow, Hereford.
