Hi Mark, we're not ignoring you, honest!

I've only gone on a couple of the London Sky Rides, which I think were classed as City Rides - mass events on closed roads. Looking at their simple Sky Rides, though, they look like they should be fun and, unless you can find a ''Ride Strong +'' route, they look relatively easy - rarely more than 2 hours riding time with comfortable average speeds.

Why not give one a go and report back? There's nothing to lose.

It must be wonderful to sky ride

I did a couple last year, nice to ride with others. Other than the 'Ride Strong' they are very much leisure cyclist/family oriented, so depends what you want

Good fun rides, I will probably be in Southampton again this year.

My Trike got nicked last year by a female Police cyclistwho was fascinated by it and asked if she could sit on it...that developed into a "how does it ride?"

She then disappeared for 15 minutes leaving her bike and colleague as security!

Came back grinning like a Banshee!

Done both Manchester and Blackpool. Ideal for families.

They look great for getting back on a bike, and getting confident, but you'll quickly grow out of them.
