2022 bike ride survey now complete

Thank you to all thirty of you who responded to the rides survey.

All your answers have been pored over with great interest by the rides organisers. What you enjoy most is learning new routes, meeting other cyclists and you especially love our marshals, who make you feel safe. There are some great ideas for improvement, such as start points in different parts of the borough and training rides of gradually increasing distance as the season progresses.

The opening rides of the 2023 season will be announced soon so come back to this page to be the first to sign up!  

Supporting cycling in Tower Hamlets

Cycling schemes in Tower Hamlets are under threat following the election of borough mayor Luftur Rahman. On Saturday 12/11/2022, more than a hundred cyclists, including parents and children of the borough’s schools, left Arnold Circus heading for Chisenhale Road school, where Mayor Rahman has twice sent in contractors in failed bids to remove the School Streets scheme and associated children’s play space. Three of your regular Redbridge Cycling Campaign volunteers went along in exceptionally sunny November weather to support our friends in Tower Hamlets, where we were joined by some of our Redbridge ride regulars.

2022 Ride season finishes on a high note

We completed our 2022 season over the weekend of 29 and 30 October with a bumper edition of two rides in one weekend!

On the family ride on Saturday, we explored some interesting routes to and from Markfield Park in the Lea Valley. The weather was like a summer’s day.

Our last scheduled ride for the year was on Sunday, and 14 of us turned up on a very wet morning. The weather did clear and everyone made it to and from Richmond riverside in west London.

Redbridge Cycling Campaign’s rides co-ordinator Haydn is already working on the 2023 schedule so keep checking the rides page to be the first to sign up, and in the meantime check out some photos and highlights of the 2022 season.

See you next year!
