Description

The Community Cycling Group is heading out across Liverpool on Monday 26 October, and it's a free ride, so there's no ticket or booking to worry about. If you've got a bike and a bit of time on a Monday morning, it's a straightforward way to get out on two wheels with a group rather than on your own.

The whole thing is built around the simple idea of a community ride: a group of people cycling together through the city. It's not a race, and it's not about how fast you can go. The focus is on the riding itself and the people you'll be doing it with, which makes it a good shout if you're not used to cycling in traffic or if you just fancy the company of other riders. Since it's a community group, it's as much about the social side as it is about the distance.

It's a free entry ride, so you don't need to put anything aside for it. You just need your bike and a bit of morning energy. The ride kicks off at 08:00 on Monday 26 October, so it's an early start—the kind of thing that gets you moving before the rest of the city has properly woken up. If you're usually one for a lie-in, you'll need to set your alarm a bit earlier than normal for this one.
