It’s perfect for all abilities, particularly those who haven't cycled in a while and want a nice, easy steady paced ride. We’ll always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind. We really welcome newcomers to our rides.  It's a good idea to bring some water and you may also want to bring a snack.  Please bring some money if you want to buy refreshments. Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part.  If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then. Please make sure you have a puncture repair kit for your bike. We’re on a mission to spread the word about Breeze bike rides, and we need your help. So this summer we’re offering some great goodies to cyclists who introduce their friends to Breeze.

If you introduce one friend who goes on to take part in a Breeze ride, you’ll receive a Breeze water bottle. If you then introduce a second friend who joins a ride, you’ll be the proud owner of one of our swish Breeze Buffs. For introducing a third friend who takes part in a ride, we’ll send you £15 of Love2Shop vouchers. Look forward to seeing you there!
