About WHEEL EASY!

WHEEL EASY! is a cycling group for people who like the idea of a leisurely cycle ride in and around the Harrogate area. Rides are organised from Hornbeam Park railway station every Sunday morning, and every Wednesday evening from May to August (lights essential). Details of additional weekday and other rides are also shown on the Ride calendar.

On Sundays, we aim to have a shorter ride of about 10-15 miles to appeal to less experienced and less fit riders, a medium length of 20 to 30 miles and a long ride of 35 to around 60 miles. Super Easy rides are 5 and 10 miles, and at a very gentle pace. Details are usually listed each week in the local press.

WHEEL EASY! aims to encourage people of all ages to experience the pleasures of cycling, one of the best and most enjoyable ways of keeping fit, as well as being the most environmentally friendly form of transport. It is for families with teenage children, people whose bikes may have been gathering cobwebs in the garage, and those who lack fitness or may be nervous of cycling on our busy roads, and want to explore some of the growing network of cycle routes, quiet roads and off road paths in Harrogate and the surrounding countryside.

Anyone who has a bike is invited to join. Families welcome. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Helmets are recommended and bikes must be in working condition.
