Delivered in partnership with People on Bicycles, this beginner-friendly ride is perfect for anyone who is new to cycling, returning to riding after a break, or interested in exploring active transport options for getting to and from campus.
Participants will learn practical riding skills, gain confidence navigating urban cycling environments, and discover how easy riding a bike can be as part of everyday life.
