Can I join in if I have a disability, mobility issue or am pregnant?

How difficult is the route?

The route we have chosen does not involve any steep hills, and the way the bikes are manufactured makes it easy to cycle.

 

How much do you charge?

Prices start from £40 per person. Please refer to "Packages/Prices" for a breakdown of options. There are no hidden fees - all packages will include everything essential for a standard ride.  We have a minimum charge of 8 people, although you can bring a minimum of just 6 people on board. Teen Parties are charged per party, as a package.
