Age UK Bexley Cycle Club is aimed towards those over the age of 50. Whether you are new to cycling, want to get back on the bike, or have been cycling for years, this is the club for you!
Rides will go at a pace and distance that suits the whole group. You will need a road worthy bike and we strongly recommend wearing the right safety equipment, such as helmets and reflective clothing, to participate.
Adding any physical exercise to your weekly routine it great and cycling in particular is a great cardiovascular workout that puts less pressure on your joints and can improve balance. Cycling can be great for improving mental health too, by getting out of the house and taking in some fresh air.
Our club also provides an opportunity to socialise and meet new and like-minded people. Our weekly Friday morning rides mainly take place in Erith, Thamesmead, Danson Park and Slade Green. We occassionally have cycling day trips to explore the cycle paths of London and Kent. There is a route schedule in place, which riders will have access to after registering.
Where possible, the rides will be using cycle paths and traffic-free roads. Each ride will be led by an Age UK Bexley volunteer and afterwards there is a tea and coffee break.
To register your interest in joining, please call our main office on 0208 300 0883 or fill out our online form. If you would like more information please contact our Project Officer, Emily, directly- emily.willey@ageukbexley.org.uk
