We are celebrating the brand new Copenhagen equivalent bike infrastructure in Stockport, branded ‘The Helix Ramp’ and we’re doing it in the only way we know how – by riding up, down and around it.
Ever cycled a roller coaster? Well we think this is about as close as you’ll get to such an amusement… on 2 or 3 wheels!
Join us for a shorter / family friendly ride where we’ll be having some fun on the Helix before venturing over to Heaton Moor via paths and quiet roads for a mid-way refreshment stop at the brilliant Stomping Ground Cafe, before circling back to our Stockport Spiral.
Please note, all children need to be accompanied by their adult and we ask that all kids are 7+ and have some experience of cycling on the roads.
See ride information below, but if you have any questions, please drop Anna a line at : community@stationsouth.co.uk
