British Cycling and Sky Launch Ride Website

British Cycling and Sky launch Ride Social, Britain’s biggest social cycling community

British Cycling and Sky have created a new online way for people to build their own cycling communities. Cyclists can visit ridesocial.co.uk and create a profile that allows them to join and create bike rides in their local area.   

Following a rebrand resulting in a new name, logo and style, Ride Social already boasts a 50,000 strong user base with 950 groups organising 3,000 rides.

Stewart Kellett, British Cycling’s recreation and partnerships director, said: "We are delighted to have created a place for cyclists of all abilities to make friends, form groups and get out and ride their way. Ride Social is a great addition to our existing ride programmes, Sky Ride Local guided rides and Breeze bike rides for women."

To celebrate the launch of Ride Social, cycling enthusiasts are being offered the chance to win a bike ride with a member of Team Sky.

Want to enter? Here’s what to do:

• Head to ridesocial.co.uk. 
• Create a ride on Ride Social that takes place between 14 November 2014 and 8 February 2015
• Invite lots of local cyclists to join you
• Take a selfie of you and your group out on your ride and share on Twitter, Facebook and/or Instagram with the hashtag #ridesocial
