Join Your Nearest Community Cycling Events

Across the UK, increasing numbers of people are choosing to come together and form groups of those with similar interests – and cycling is no exception. There are a huge number of community cycling clubs, bringing people of all ages together to have fun whilst cycling together, improving skills and sharing tips along the way. Whether you are looking to boost your performance by learning road bike maintenance, or simply want to find likeminded people to connect and exercise with in your local area, there are a number of benefits to cycling with a group. Why Community Cycling? Even for those who may consider themselves cycling experts, group riding will help to expand your skillset and meet people who share your interests. Riding solo is vastly different to with a team, and also brings with it speed and pacing challenges. A group will allow you to share and learn tips and tricks about the sport, as well as providing the opportunity to upgrade your bike. If you have recently moved to a new area, your nearest cycling community will also show you where the best cycle routes are, and allow you to join in with weekly racing events. Find Your Cycling Community Each cycling group will cater for a specific type of rider, with some focused on casual cycling and coffee, while others are centred around those looking to maximise speed and endurance. Finding a group that meets your level of skill and needs is important, with so many to select from. If you’re unsure where to begin, check out Cycling UK’s list of local cycling events that are happening this summer – where you are sure to find an event or group located near to you. Search Bike Components Before heading out, don’t forget to make sure your bike is fully prepped by checking and replacing any worn components from our range at BETD, including bearings, chain rings and Middleburn cranks.
