How do I join Bike North?
We would like your support – You can join on-line using our membership page. Please take note of the reference number as you will need that when you make your payment.
Do I need to be an experienced cyclist to ride with or join Bike North?
Absolutely not. Whilst our rides do cater very well for serious, long distance riders, we also take pride in helping novices find their cycling wheels. So, whether your idea of a great ride is a gentle trundle around Olympic Park, a hard slog up Mt. White and beyond, or anywhere in between, we've got the ride for you.
Can I volunteer to help Bike North?
We encourage all members to become involved in our work to promote cycling. You can do this by indicating how you can help on the membership form or give us a call. Our tasks range from the simple to complex and one-offs to quite time demanding. Ride Leading, stuffing envelopes, writing letters or articles, surveying routes, participating in a meeting. These are but a few examples.
