Ride on is a cycling community and which aims to support everyone who wants to cycle and claim the benefits of active travel.
Ride On has been delivering quality refurbished bicycles to the local community for over 7 years and, in that time they have put hundreds of people on bikes, given many more children taking their Bikeability course at school the chance to join in and learn how to be safe on the roads and helped 3 year olds to 89 year olds get cycling! Check out their video to learn more about Ride On or you can read about their St James Bike Project or Bike Donation projects here. |
