They're ideal for all abilities and are great for building confidence and getting some gentle exercise. You might not have ridden a bike for a while and be looking for the easiest way to get back in the saddle, or be looking for a sociable way of getting out and about in your local area. Breeze rides are gently-paced, not too long, and often take in a stop for coffee or a cake. Kids are welcome to come along too.

To celebrate this years International Women’s Day why not join us on a Breeze bike ride along the canal via the weaver's triangle to Gawthorpe.  We’ll stop for coffee and cake before returning back along the Padiham greenway


Please bring some money for our stop, you might also like to bring a bike lock, drink for the journey and warm clothes.


Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part.  If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then. 


We really welcome newcomers to our rides; we will always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind.


Look forward to seeing you there!
