Sunny Cycles

Sunny Cycles is a cycling charity based in the East End of Glasgow. We help people of all ages and abilities to enjoy cycling and cycling activities. We offer lessons for children and adults, skills sessions, led rides, women's rides, disability bikes and volunteering opportunities. We have bikes and helmets available for people to use.

This is a New Years day ride for our participants who have been cycling with us all year. It's not the time for newbies to come out, new riders should join us at a later date. This is a mixed ride, bikes and helmets are available to borrow if required. Meet at the Glasgow Green hub from 10.45 to ride at 11am. We will take in the cycle paths and quieter roads in and around Glasgow. We will likely head along towards Cuningar Loop, then take a different route back. We will go to the Jennyburn for a coffee at the end of the ride, but there will be an option to return bikes for anyone who doesn't want to join for coffee. If its icy, I will put information out the day before to warn all participants of a change in details, and we may just meet for a coffee instead. If you are bringing your own bike, please ensure it is in roadworthy condition. All riders are responsible for themselves. Photographs may be taken for our social media pages, website and for reporting back to funders. Please let the ride leader know at the start of the ride if you do not wish to be in photos.
