Other Rides

Birmingham City Cycles Saturday morning rides

These are a 30 mile ride through north Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield. The rides start at 7am each saturday at Birmingham City Cycles' shop and end around 9:15 back in the City Centre.

The rides won't take place if it's raining, otherwise you'll need to be prepared for hot/cold/darkness etc. The rides are on-road, but if you're not used to that, you will be among experienced on-road cyclists and can learn the techniques they use to cope with traffic.

A roadworthy bike is essential.
