Over 2,500 tickets have been booked for the London Cycling Festival. Run by London Cycling Campaign and London’s councils – with support from Lime, Voi, and the Zero Emissions Network – the event will see a host of free, inclusive, family-friendly cycling events happening in 28 boroughs across London.

This is London Cycling Festival’s second year, after the success of the 2025 festival – but this year the take-up has been phenomenal, with many rides booking up within a few weeks of being advertised.

As well as over 30 family-friendly and inclusive rides available across inner and outer London, the Festival will have four activity ‘hubs’ – in Westminster, City of London, Tower Hamlets and Richmond, each featuring music, stalls and games as well as led rides.

There is a focus on helping families and people with disabilities discover the joy of cycling, with a celebration of cargo bikes in Richmond and opportunities to try out accessible cycles in Tower Hamlets, the City of London and Westminster.

In addition, the long-standing Tour de Waltham Forest will be taking place on the day of the Festival.

London Cycling Festival means wherever you are in London, you and your family and friends will be able to get out and enjoy the freedom cycling brings. Head to the London Cycling Festival website for rides, registration and more information

Tom Fyans, Chief Executive, London Cycling Campaign, said:

“We’re delighted by the popularity of the Festival this year, with the big rush on free tickets across London! Everyone deserves to enjoy the freedom and fun of cycling, regardless of age, gender, ability or background, and we love seeing our led rides at the Festival making that a reality. From outer London boroughs like Enfield and Redbridge, to Westminster and the City in the centre, there’s going to be something for everyone. It’s not too late to get tickets. Come and say hello to us at London Cycling Campaign, and our festival partners Lime and Voi, at one of the hubs and have a great day out!”
