Love to Ride

Love to Ride is the online platform that gets more people riding bikes.

Both a web platform and App - people can log trips, set goals, post photos and stories, receive localised and tailored information, win prizes, and take part in our rolling calendar of engaging challenges throughout the year known as Ride 365. By taking part we support individuals, communities and businesses, to cycle more often, more confidently and long-term for transportation.

With 15 years of experience in delivering successful cycling behaviour change projects right around the world, we have a solid reputation as a specialist social business creating positive change. As well as encouraging existing riders to ride more often and commute by bike, we also support people returning to or completely new to cycling. We help individuals overcome real and perceived barriers and advocate for local cycling organisations and partners in project areas. We then monitor, measure and report on the outcomes.

We believe…

We believe that life is much better when we feel happy, healthy, energised and connected to the people and places around us.
