Riding through historic streets and past iconic buildings allows participants to soak up the rich history of the neighbourhood.

Following the event participants have reported increased confidence in cycling in an urban environment. They are also more likely to view Ebikes as an alternative and green method of transport.

This is a great way for City workers to try a green mode of transport to get them around the City and 100% of past participants would recommend the event to a colleague or friend.
