The national Sky Ride campaign to get more people cycling for fun and fitness has seen thousands of people take to their bikes.

British Cycling and Sky, in partnership with Sheffield City Council, offer fantastic guided bike rides for people of all ages and abilities completely free of charge.

The rides are led by British Cycling trained Ride Leaders along local routes and pitched at three different levels - easygoing, steady and challenging and they all explore the beautiful scenery that features throughout The Outdoor City.

Helen Webster, British Cycling’s Recreation Manager for Sheffield said: "What better way to get some exercise, get outdoors and see your area in a new way than to join some Sky Ride Local bike rides taking place in and around Sheffield.
