Bike Rangers is a local cycling initiative for children, their families and carers.
We are based in Hampton Hill in SW London with the fantastic Bushy Park right on our doorstep with easy access to miles of cycling along the River Thames and surrounding area.
As a growing community of like minded parents, friends, carers and families we find a shared value in the benefits and joys of cycling which include:
- A fun, shared way to explore our environment and local community.
- Nourishing both physical and mental health through active travel.
- Contributing to safer roads and reductions in road danger and injury.
- Helping to reduce motor traffic congestion.
- Reducing air pollution through cleaner safer transport options.
- Healthier streets that encourage fairer urban spaces.
Bike Rangers provides an opportunity to formalise some of these values through meetings, activities and enjoyable, family oriented rides. We also promote active travel and encourage others to use bikes for short journeys such as the commute and school run. Read more >
Campaigning
Bike rangers uses its platform to promote healthy, safe cycling for families and supports organisations that that campaign and lobby on behalf of healthy streets, clean air and active travel.
Leisure Rides
Our leisure rides tend to be at weekends and where possible have a fixed destination or outcome. We will always try and visit a local historic or natural attraction and actively encourage skills such as map reading, way finding, and general cycle sense en route. The rides are always pre planned and briefed by a ride leader in advance and all children are encouraged to take a proactive role along the way.
Adventure Rides
For the more adventurously inclined we organise occasional overnight expeditions both in the UK and in France. These mini breaks are an opportunity for families to ditch the car and explore on two wheels. We camp and glamp with an advanced party setting up ahead of us.
