Bear with me with this one! My usual bi-monthly beginner ride was moved from Saturday morning to Friday afternoon. So this ride to and around Norfolk Park has some bike hire available to those who wish to take part.

The ride was moved because on Saturday I am helping out a Dr Bike Event for CyclingUK. I will lead a bike bus to the event which starts at 10am in Clifton Park (Rotherham). This is a one-way ride so you'll have to make your own way home! But while you are there, we'll happily take a look at your bike for free! There is no bike hire for this ride.

I enjoy watching the honey bees at Kelham Island. The Ball Street Bridge is a perfect lunch spot.
Summer holidays are coming to an end. Time to get back to work 🚴♂️🖥️
Here is a new one. We are going to stay near the city centre this time and enjoy some of the lovely cycle paths here. We'll be heading clockwise around the city centre until we reach Weston Park. There are a couple of short sharp hills but everyone should be able to manage.
🚳Bike hire has sold out so you'll have to bring your own.

Not far from Sheffield is Peveril Castle just above Castleton. This castle has been here for almost 1000 years but has been a ruin for centuries! It’s not easy to walk up to but the views over Hope Valley are breathtaking!
I love this little stretch by the River Don, it’s always much cooler than the rest of Kelham Island.
I’m looking forward to this!
I rented a bike with a FollowMe system for a few days. This is what I thought 🚴♂️🚲
It was pretty great! There are a few steps to remember in order to detach/reattach the little bike but it can be done in less than a minute. The hold on the little bike felt very secure and I wasn’t worried about us separating.
The only drawback is that having someone peddling or looking around behind you really affects that stability of the bike. My hands would get a bit tired from the constant minor corrections to keep us going in a straight line. It’s not an issue when you have a lot of space though.
Sadly this is not Sheffield. This is Toulouse 🇫🇷
This road has a beautiful tree lined pedestrian area, a lovely smooth cycle path and then grassy tram tracks! The best kind of tram tracks! 🚃
Next ride is to Millhouses Park. There are a couple of small hills to go over but overall this is one that beginners can manage!
Bike hire has sold out but you can still book a ticket here if you have your own bike.

Also, don't forget that you can get a free coffee afterwards thanks to Better Points!
I spent many hours in Pounds Park this weekend and I absolutely love this huge mural from
It really makes a stunning backdrop to the play area and we are so close to the new food hall too!
It was a hot day but much cooler by the water. We stopped here for a long chat about how canals and locks work!
On Friday our next ride is to Rotherham. This one is pretty flat but it is quite far! Come along if you want a little adventure along the canal.

Tonight is a big night here in England. The men’s national team has reached the final of the European Football Championship. They were in this position 4 years ago but lost out to Italy. Hopefully things will go better tonight and they’ll win their first trophy since 1966! 🦁🦁🦁
Don’t forget that the Women’s National team (the Lionesses) won their European Championship in 2022!
This afternoon we spent some time at Pinknic! Sheffield’s biggest LGBTQ+ event! 🏳️🌈
This year was celebrating its 10 year anniversary!
In one week's time we'll be setting off to Rotherham along the canal. This ride might be a bit more of an intermediate one as it's quite long! Luckily it's pretty flat though.

Spent the day at the fabulous Longshaw Estate 🌳🏞️
We drove but you could cycle there in just over an hour from Sheffield if you were a confident road cyclist. The highlight is the brook which is perfect for paddling with children. Make sure you bring cash for the ice cream vans! 🍦
Have you been to Sheffield’s new Cambridge Street Collective yet? 🍔🌯🥙
This is Europe’s biggest purpose built food hall. I went for the first time last week and I was extremely impressed. Even if you aren’t hungry it’s worth popping in to check out the terraces and smaller rooms dotted about.

This road feels like you are in the countryside but actually you are only 20 minutes from the heart of the city. #sheffieldissuper #sheffieldexploringlocal #netheredge #sheffield
I love this section of the 5 weirs walk! Turn your sound on to hear the weir. Hello train! #fiveweirswalk #visitsheffield #theoutdoorcity #betterpointsapp #bikeride
Most of my riders today hadn’t ridden a bike in 10-15 years! But they all did SO WELL! I am so pleased with how they all did. I hope they caught the cycling bug and keep at it! Also they all got a free coffee for coming along! Nice! ☕️ #cyclinguk #sheffieldcyclists #bigbikerevival #betterpointsapp #sheffield
Super smooth shot while riding along the dam. I had 4 riders following who were all enjoying the sun and the views. #peakdistrict #visitsheffield #theoutdoorcity
This newly tarmaced section of The 5 Weirs so beautiful. Turn the sound on and enjoy the sound of nature! 🦆 #visitsheffield #theoutdoorcity #sheffieldcyclists #fiveweirswalk #sheffieldexploringlocal
Last week I got caught out in a heavy downpour and took shelter under a tree. 🌳🌧️ I love the sound of rain! #sheffieldexploringlocal #rainsounds #sheffield #aprilshowers
I filmed my adventure to the recycling centre. Bikes sometimes get turned away due to their Cars Only rule. Just some notes that I cut out of the video to keep it short: 1) The chest of drawers weighed about 15kg which is no problem for my eBike. 2) the bang at the start of the video is my kickstand flicking up which caused the cargo to rattle. 3) My camera is mounted on my chest so in reality I could see over the box very easily. 4) The staff at the recycling centre were very helpful and didn’t bat an eye at my bike. #activetravel #recycling #urbanarrow #sheffieldissuper #theoutdoorcity #cargobike #cargobikelife @ed.clancy @cyclesheffield @sustranssheffield
A compilation of my GoPro footage from my trip along the canal. It was just like Amsterdam! #sheffieldcanal #sheffieldcyclists #exploringsheffield #visitsheffield #bikeride #biketours
Just exploring some of Sheffield’s waterways 🚤🚣♂️ #sheffieldcyclists #sheffieldissuper #visitsheffield #canals
My second ride for @wearecyclinguk. 🚲🍁 This time I took 3 students from @theuniversityofsheffield to see the autumn leaves of Beeley Woods. The weather was awful but I was so proud of my riders for braving it with me. #BigBikeRevival #cyclinguk #autumnvibes🍁 #visitsheffield #bikeride
Wet ride around Damflask reservoir. 🌧️🚲 The autumn scenery looked stunning but you can see the raindrops and falling leaves in the air. This is only about 45 minutes by bike from the Sheffield Train Station. #cycling #peakdistrict #bikeride #autumnvibes
I took a small group from Neepsend to Low Bradfield today for @wearecyclinguk 🚴🚴♂️ We had some cake/coffees at @theschoolrooms2011 then were back at @russ_cycle_shed in no time at all. #cyclinguk #bigbikerevival #peakdistrict #bikeride #autumnvibes🍁
Remember, remember the 5th November! 🎇🎆 I took this at the wonderful Illuminate the Gardens on Friday but I am looking forward to seeing some more tonight! #illuminatethegardens #botanicalgardenssheffield #bonfirenight #fireworks
Check out Little Kelham in the fog this morning. 😱 Little Kelham is an eco-housing development. This walkable neighbourhood has been designed around sustainability, innovation and community. It’s one of my favourite places in the summer. #kelhamisland #kelhamislandlife #littlekelham #littlekelhamcommunity #sheffieldissuper
Such a stunning day for a mass bike ride! 🚴♀️🚴🚴♂️ Thanks for a great route through Heeley, Nether Edge and the contentious Archer Lane! The protesters there were so lovely that they gave me cake! 🧁 #massbikeride #criticalmass #sheffieldcyclists #sheffieldevents
