Safety Advice
- Staggered Start: To ensure everyone’s safety and reduce congestion on the road, we won’t be setting off all at once. This will minimise our impact on regular road traffic.
- If you’re unfamiliar with group riding, please familiarise yourself with common hand signals and group ride protocols. Maintaining communication with your fellow riders is crucial. Always keep a safe following distance from the rider ahead of you.
- Helmets are mandatory. We also recommend wearing any other protective gear and use bike lights for your safety.
- We have support and marshals. They can assist with minor bike issues. If you face mechanical challenges, let us know, and we’ll help where we can.

Above all, please prepare and take care of yourselves and your bikes. Make sure you are healthy enough to take part. Keep an eye on the weather and dress safely, visibly and apppropriately. And here’s some more great advice.

BEGINS
On Sunday, August 27th, I’m riding 40 miles from Manchester Media City to The Windmill in Lytham. 🚲 The ride will raise much-needed funds for The Boathouse Youth. This local charity does amazing work, providing support and opportunities for young people. Every penny we raise will go a long way in making a positive impact on their lives. To sponsor me and contribute to this remarkable cause, please visit our JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/page/questacharitybikeride #questabikeride
