Sunday Rides

Sunday August 17th: PushBikes 2008 Family Bike Ride

Something new for PushBikes.
Open to all - so bring family + your friends + their families too!

The ride will be approximately 6 miles, simply be along the canal to the Mailbox and back - so no road dangers.

Meet on the Worcester and Birmingham Canal at the Dingle, behind Lookers Vauxhall on the Bristol Road in Selly Oak - map.

We will be departing promptly at 2pm so please arrive in time to allow you to get bikes off car racks etc.

The plan is to cycle along the canal and relax for 10 - 15 minutes at the Mailbox to have a rest, and maybe :

The pace will be relaxed so that all the younger cyclists taking part can feel like they really are part of the ride without any pressure, and enjoy themselves.

Please watch the web site, as we will post details of cancellation (if necessary) on the morning of the ride if the current great British summer continues: keep your fingers crossed for some sunshine!
