Riding a bike is a perfect way to explore green spaces in the borough, such as Barking Park, Central Park and Mayesbrook Park, or to ride from the borough into central London on the CS 3 route, or out towards the Essex countryside from Barking and through Dagenham on National Route 13.

Plan a route that follows local cycle paths and quieter streets using CycleStreets.

Cycling to work

Why not plan how to start cycling to work? You could start by doing so once a week and then gradually increase the frequency.

Led leisure rides

Accompanied bike rides to build confidence and fitness.

Vandome Cycles and British Cycling offer local led leisure rides for individuals and groups.
