Ride with Pride in the South East!

Richard Hearne, chair of Pride Out, said: ‘We recognise that LGBTQ+ cycling has been underrepresented in the UK for far too long. Since launching an LGBTQ+ inclusive and friendly cycling group in the North West in 2019, we’ve been overwhelmed by the response of cyclists and encouragement from large organisations including Stonewall, Cycling and British Cycling; this has included cyclists from all over the country asking if we put on rides in their region.

‘This got me thinking about whether we could put on bike rides in London and the South East. In the coming months, after lockdown, we hope to organise some trial group rides to see what demand is like. Don’t forget to tell your friends about this group if they like to cycle or you think they may like to start – there’s no better time.’
