A PROGRAMME of guided bike rides has been launched in Selby.

British Cycling, leisure service provider WLCT and Selby District Council are working together to offer the rides to encourage people to get on their bikes.

The Sky Ride Local rides, guided by trained British Cycling ride leaders, kick off on Sunday, May 25.

They range from short family rides to longer routes and include Breeze women’s only rides.

British Cycling’s Recreation Manager, Melanie Hudson, said: “Cycling has never been more popular and, whatever your age or fitness level, it’s easy to get involved. We’re delighted to be working with WLCT to make it even easier for local people to get out on their bikes and have some fun this summer.”
