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 and Wednesday 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 have Short/Beginner rides of 15 miles or less, Medium rides of 25 to about 50 miles, and Long rides up to 100 miles. Occasional Super Easy rides are 5 to 10 miles, and at a very gentle pace. On Wednesdays, there are relatively easy ‘Poddlers’ rides and more challenging ‘Wednesday Wheel Easy’ rides from Hornbeam, and the EGs (originally so-called Elderly Gentlemen, but all experienced cyclists now welcome) rides from Knaresborough.

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 people whose bikes may have been gathering cobwebs in the garage, for experienced cyclists, and also for 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.

Helmets are recommended and bikes must be in good working condition.
