Welcome to Aylesbury
Aylesbury is a great place to cycle, and now there are even more opportunities to get out and about on your bike in the area.
This year Aylesbury is hosting a series of friendly neighbourhood Sky Ride Local rides, Breeze bike rides for women, and more. They’re all free to join, and it’s easy to register.
Thanks to Buckinghamshire County Council, NHS Buckinghamshire and Aylesbury Cycling Campaign for supporting the initiation of this programme.
