At Bigfoot Bike Club we like to ride for fun and fitness. We aim to appeal to leisure cyclists up to semi-serious riders who enjoy taking part in non-competitive events, sportives and time trials. The club is affiliated to the Cyclists Touring Club (CTC) and the Road Time Trials Council (RTTC) and now British Cycling.

We are based in Hayes near Bromley, Kent and organise regular on-road rides for different levels. There is a lively off-road section with night rides every week. We also run off road rides in a safe environment for kids for family. Click here to find out more about the different rides.

The club also arranges trips away, from mountain biking in the Lake District to a week in Italy.

Regular Rides
ROAD: We have 3-4 hour road rides every Saturday morning going around the lanes of Kent and Surrey, taking in some hills. Meet 8.15am outside Hayes Village Hall, opposite Bigfoot Bikes.

MTB: There's a lively off-road section with nightrides every Thursday at 8pm. There's usually a Sunday ride as well.

Each ride has an experienced leader. Check Next Rides and the Forums to find out more.

Ride Rules
Riders must be 16 or over unless accompanied by a responsible adult. Helmets must be worn on all rides. On off road night rides high power (at least 10W) lights are required. If you're not sure call the shop (020 8462 5004). Cyclists on the highway or in the countryside should obey the appropriate rules and regulations of the highway.
