Hop on your bike and cycle your way through the solar system with fellow explorers.
We have a number of great opportunities for you to take in the planets this summer on wheels. You can choose to join the awesome Outspoken Training or take part in a slightly shorter tour with volunteers through British Cycling, in partnership with Living Sport, for a family-friendly adventure!
Cycle the Solar System with Outspoken Training
Outspoken Training is passionate about inspiring and encouraging everyone to build cycling into their everyday life by equipping them with the skills and confidence to ride. Two available tours:
