Cycling in our city

Did you know there’s a Glow Ride through Southampton on Sunday 10th December? Part of the Kidical Mass series of activities, the Glowride is great fun to participate in as well as to watch, with bikes blinged up with lights and luminous loveliness. This year there are two feeder rides coming in from the west of the city over the Itchen Bridge as well as the main ride. Meet at the Guidlhall at 3.30pm. For more information follow Kidical Mass on Facebook.

Future rides planned for 2024 are:

• 3rd Mar – Spring Ride

• 5th May – Kidical Mass International

• 9th June – Bike Week

• 22nd Sept – Kidical Mass International (Date TBC)

Of course you can do some armchair cycling too, planning routes and places to visit when spring comes around. Some books we would recommend are:

• Hampshire & Isle of Wight Cycling Country Lanes & Traffic-Free Family Routes

• Cycle to the Pub by Lindsi Bluemel (in store only)

• Bikepacking England: 20 multi-day off-road cycling adventures

Safe cycling :-)
