<\/strong>Summer of Cycling in MK!<\/p>\n

–<\/em>Lots of free, fun activities throughout the summer <\/em><\/p>\n

-Training and rides for all ages and abilities<\/em><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been inspired by the recent success of Chris Froome in the Tour de France there\u2019s plenty of cycling activities and training coming up over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

Whatever age or ability there are free guided rides available to join to get back in the saddle, build up your confidence on a bike or just simply to meet other cyclists and enjoy riding around cycle routes that take in MK\u2019s Redways, countryside and attractions.<\/p>\n

There are regular activities every week including free Ladies Only Rides, Family Rides, Health Rides around MK plus free family cycle training and adult cycle training (Bikeability Level 2 \u2013 basic cycling skills)<\/p>\n

For information about these and other cycling groups visit www.milton-keynes.gov.uk\/get-cycling<\/p>\n

Even if you don\u2019t have a bike, you can rent one from the new Santander scheme or if you are an employee your employer may run a scheme like Cyclescheme or SmartGo to help you purchase a bike and equipment to get started.<\/p>\n

To keep your bike\/s safe the Council has teamed up with Thames Valley Police to offer free bike marking and safety checks by a qualified mechanic provided by Corley Cycles.<\/p>\n

These free Dr Bike sessions will be in Station Square between 4-7pm on:<\/p>\n
