Join us for a friendly evening cycle from Millerhill Community Hub, every Tuesday in September, 6:00–7:00pm.

These rides are part of the Connecting Communities project, funded by SEStran, and aim to help you discover practical cycling routes for everyday journeys – whether to shops, work, or nearby towns.

  • 🚲 Open to adults who can already ride a bike
  • 🕛 Gentle pace – we’ll walk tricky sections if needed
  • 💡 Bring lights – it will be getting dark during the ride
  • 🚴 Bikes available to borrow if you don’t have one
  • 🤝 One-to-one buddy rides or cycle training also available – contact kirsty.ryder@cyclinguk.org

Frequently asked questions

How can I find out more about the project and other activities?

You can keep up to date by following our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/CyclingUKinMidlothian. You can also use this link [https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/3D2jt3u7qP] to register your interest and join our mailing list, so you’ll hear about new rides, training, and other activities first.

Do I need to book in advance?

Yes please – spaces are limited, so booking is essential. Just use the booking link on the event page

What if I can’t make it after booking?

No problem – we just ask that you cancel your booking as soon as you can, so someone else can join the ride instead. You can do this via Eventbrite or by emailing me at kirsty.ryder@cyclinguk.org

What kind of bike do I need?

Any roadworthy bike will do. If you don’t have one, we can usually lend you a bike (including e-bikes). Just let us know when you book.

Do I need to bring anything?

Just bring a drink of water and wear clothes that are comfy for cycling and suit the weather. Lights required as the evenings are starting to draw in. Gloves can be handy if it’s cold, and we can lend helmets if you don’t have one. If you need medication like an inhaler, please bring that along too.

Do I need to be a confident cyclist?

Not at all – if you can ride a bike, you’re welcome. We go at a sociable pace, no one’s left behind, and we’ll walk any tricky road sections if needed.

Can children join this ride?

This particulare ride is just for adults. But don’t worry – we’ve got options for families too! We’ll be running family cycling sessions designed around each family’s needs, and there’s also Play Together on Pedals for younger children

How long is the ride?

About an hour at a gentle pace, mainly on local cycle paths.

What happens if the weather is bad?

We usually go ahead unless it’s unsafe (for example, high winds or icy paths). If we do need to cancel, we’ll let you know by email.

Who is organising these rides?

They’re part of the Connecting Communities Project, funded by SEStran and delivered locally by Cycling UK.
