Intro
Rochdale Cycling Club caters for underprivileged children, many of ethnic origin, who do not own their own bikes, adults just starting or returning to cycling, handicapped riders and cyclists with learning difficulties. The club has a wide range of bicycles which are loaned free of charge for the rides. These range from Tandems for the use of visually impaired riders, trailer bikes to accommodate children from four years old, electric bikes for those not fit enough to ride a normal bike, and even one six seater bike on which an adult can take out five children. Helmets are also available free for the ride if required.

The Saturday rides are at an easy pace and fairly short, about 4 to 10 miles to a cafe stop and then return.
Riders with their own bikes may use them if they prefer. The rides are free but you are advised to bring a little money for a café stop.
