Walthamstow Family Bike Club
Walthamstow Family Bike Club
What we do
We meet on the 2nd Sunday of each month for a sociable ride; we used to take a break in the winter months, but due to the popularity of the rides we now run right throughout the winter.
We also sometimes run additional events - see our special events page for more details.
Our monthly rides
Our aim is for an enjoyable afternoon exploring the nooks and crannies in and around our borough.
The maximum distance we do is 15 miles there and back, but will be tailored to the abilities of those who turn up, so can be considerably shorter.
We usually stop along the way for a snack, so apart from a bicycle and any children you can round up, we recommend you also bring some water and something to eat. We also aim to stop off at a cafe at about half time. In the winter months, do remember your lights.
Everyone is welcome, so encourage your family & friends to join us.
A flyer you can print to give to people you know is here.
We have been running these rides since 2005. You can see some of our routes here: http://www.bikely.com/listpaths then search for “walthamstow family”.
