Pedal Together Rolls Out a Summer of Cycling Success in Carlisle

16 October 2025

In August, Travel Actively Carlisle launched Pedal Together - a series of short, gentle, and inclusive led bike rides designed to help people build confidence and enjoy cycling for everyday journeys.

Led by trained cycle leaders, the seven rides explored different areas of Carlisle, uncovering scenic routes, spotting local wildlife, and enjoying well-earned coffee and cake stops. The initiative aimed to encourage cycling for commuting, shopping, and leisure, while also promoting physical and mental wellbeing.

Participants shared glowing feedback, highlighting the social, fitness, and confidence-boosting benefits of the rides. Comments included:

“Stupendous riding event”

“I surprised myself getting up that hill”

“Fantastic rides with great company”

Pedal Together proved to be a hit with locals, showing that cycling can be both accessible and enjoyable for all.
