Fun, family-friendly spring bike ride

Join Kingston Cycling Campaign and local friends on Sunday 8 March 2026 for a fun-filled ride through the borough – and beyond!

This family-friendly ride will start in Manor Park Recreation Ground and head out on a deliciously-flat 6.5 mile route designed with all ages and cycling abilities in mind. Taking in 4 different boroughs, we’ll swap Greater London for Surrey as we cross into Epsom & Ewell, before making our way through Sutton and Merton and back to Kingston.

Bikes have long been a symbol of freedom, so what better way to put an extra spring in your pedals and remember how fun riding a bike can be than helping challenge the stereotype of who cycles on International Women’s Day!

WHAT ARE FAMILY-FRIENDLY RIDES?

If you’ve not been on one of our confidence-boosting rides before, you can read more about them and see our previous family-friendly routes here. You can also get a good feel of what to expect in this short highlights video from our fun June ride and this snapshot of our September event on Facebook.

All participants need to be registered here to take part, so simply scroll to the bottom of this page and reserve your free spot now! (NB: book one space per rider so we know how many people to expect).

Still not sure? Here are a few quotes from our previous rides!

• What a brilliant event! Gave me the nudge I needed to get back on the bike after many years.

• Being in a group makes such a difference and gives us the confidence to venture a bit further as a family.

• The best thing about coming on these rides is being able to cycle with the family. We can’t wait for the next one!

• I never imagined my five-year old would be able to manage this type of distance. But he loved it! The regular pauses and nice, slow pace made it a fun morning, and has opened the doors for us to do even more bike outings as a family.

• _I have done three rides with you guys now and it has been a lifeline and a big opportunity for me. Thanks for having me and supporting me. _
