Peoples Park Pootle

Not cycled for a while and looking for an easy way to get back in the saddle? Fancy a fun way to get your friends or kids riding? Our Easygoing rides are great for building confidence for all abilities and ages along relaxed, mostly traffic-free routes. They’re up to six miles long, with a gentle pace of around six miles an hour. This route may be the shortest of our routes in Halifax, but it is perfect for those wishing to become more confident on their bikes.  Situated at the western edge of the town the beautiful People's Park is one of the finest surviving examples of a "Joseph Paxton" Park.  Created back in 1857, the Park was then donated to the people of Halifax by Sir Francis Crossley. The ride is suitable for all kinds of bikes from balance bikes all the way through to tricycles and trailer bikes.  Come and join us for a pootle around and then maybe stay and spend some time in this green and pleasant haven.
