Starting point

All Terrain Cycles, Salts Mill, Saltaire, BD18 3LA

Join us for a leisurely ride along the Leeds to Liverpool canal towpath, from Saltaire to East Riddlesden. This rides starts from outside All Terrain Cycles in Salts Mill and then heads west along the towpath, past the famous Bingley Five Rise Locks and on towards East Riddlesden. Most of the journey is on the traffic free towpath, with only a short section of quiet road to get to the canal. The towpath is a good surface to cycle on but it isn’t tarmac, so we’d recommend that your bike has tyres with some tread on them rather than slick tyres. What to bring with you? Bring some water and some food if you think you’ll want a snack en route. We’ll make a café stop either during the ride (there’s a couple to choose from) or at the end so bring some money if you want to purchase food and drink. It is useful to carry a spare inner tube that fits your bike. It isn’t essential to wear a cycle helmet but we strongly recommend that you do. The ride will leave All Terrain at 10am so please make sure you arrive with plenty of time to get ready Parking - most of Saltaire is residents parking only on Saturdays so we suggest that you use the Salts Mill parking which is free and accessed from Salts Mill Road, Shipley.
