Local riding opportunities are the best way to create a culture and lifestyle of cycling in our cities. We've experimented with this for over a decade and have put together a simple Ride Leadership program to help grow cycling in Bangalore.
We're looking for riders who love cycling, are keen to share their passion with others and get their local community riding. You don’t need to be an expert or a competitive racer, just confident about riding in a group and have good levels of cycling fitness. Enthusiasm, eagerness to support beginners, knowledge of local cycling routes and a passion for cycling is what we look for.
