At Active Medway cycling projects, we have always prided ourselves on delivering lower distance, weekday, steady bike rides across Medway. Our regular participants enjoy a varied cycling background, from those that have learnt to ride to those that prefer a steadier pace of cycling without the hustle and bustle of rushing around.

The routes will take in between 8 and 10 miles and will be next to the traffic on cycle pathways, respecting all traffic light crossings meaning this will not be a fast ride. We like to think of this route as an educational ride on how the cycle networks can work for you.ated cycle paths

We will be cycling for just over the hour and with road crossings, there will be a lot of little stops along the way.

The ride is a community group ride and you will need a bike and a helmet is recommended.

By pre-booking and contacting us at [email protected], we can arrange parking if you choose to bring a vehicle to the start location. Parking restrictions may apply, please refer to local signage
