Riverside Ramble

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.

Explore the fascinating and diverse Middlesbrough riverside on this 7.5 mile out and back ride. The ride starts at one of Middlesbrough's unmissable landmarks, the 225ft high Transporter Bridge, the second largest of its kind left in the world. The 1911 bridge (affectionately known as 'Tranny') is not the only leviathan you'll meet enroute - from here you'll follow the riverbank inland passing Teesaurus Park - a dinosaur sculpture park created by local metalworkers - which is sure to be a hit with the kids. The ride also affords great views of the Tees Barrage, part of the city's flood defences. The route is mostly flat, traffic-free on tarmac paths, so is suitable for a wide range of bikes and abilities.
