About this event
Sheffield Cycle Tours have partnered with Cycling UK to offer led group rides as part of the Big Bike Revival 2025.
These rides are suitable for everyone as the pace is slow and there will be plenty of stops on the way. We'll also stop for a rest and to buy refreshments and at our destination before returning back to the start.
Do you:
- want to get that dusty bike out your garage and take it for a ride?
- want more confidence riding on Sheffield streets?
- love riding but prefer not to do it alone?
- want to ride but haven't got a bike right now?
We have limited cycle hire available for those who need a bike. If you cannot select a bike hire then we have sold out.
What's the catch?
All that Cycling UK want in return is your contact information so they can send you 2 short surveys. The more people who complete the survey, the more funding they get, and the more free events they can sponsor!
When are the events?
The event dates are on the poster below and the estimated completion times include several rest stops. Please contact us at info@sheffieldcycletours.com if you'd like more information on the routes.
Where do the ride start from?
This year there will be 2 different start locations. Saturday rides will start at 10am at Russell's Bicycle Shed (92 Burton Rd, Neepsend, Sheffield S3 8BX) while Wednesday and Friday rides will start at 1pm at the Sheffield Train Station (Sheaf St, Sheffield City Centre, Sheffield S1 2BP).

Frequently asked questions
My usual tours are guided tours which have lots of stops where I tell stories about Sheffield history and culture. These led group rides are for people to enjoy riding around Sheffield. There will still be stops, but they'll be for people to catch their breath and to enjoy social opportunities.
The most important thing to bring is clothing that you feel comfortable cycling in that is appropriate for the weather. You may also wish to bring some money in case you wish to purchase refreshments on route. Snacks, water, sunglasses and a camera are also recommended.
It isn't against the law to not wear a helmet but we strongly advise it. Great care has been taken to plan routes to avoid traffic but even professional riders occasionally fall off their bikes! Your group leader will always wear a helmet.
Children who can ride their own bikes must be at least 12 years old. They must have one-to-one adult supervision at all times and must be confident enough to ride on roads. Please contact us directly if you wish to bring a child with you. We don't collect personal data from children.
Yes. In order to collect the bikes from Russell's Bicycle Shed, you'll need to bring a payment card and photo ID. The bike hire fee will by paid for by Cycling UK.
A bit of rain or drizzle is almost guaranteed in the UK! Please check the forecast before you set off. Should the weather get too extreme then we may need to cancel.
Depending on the severity of the mechanical issue, your leader may be able to assist you in repairing your bike. Your leader always brings a range of tools to help with minor bike issues. Please make sure that your bike is safe to use and in good working order.
This is a 'Led ride event' which assumes a basic level of cycling proficiency. Should you wish to learn how to ride then please look out for 'Learn to ride events' which are also part of the Big Bike Revival.
