Are you passionate about cycling and want others to experience its joy? Then volunteer with us! We are looking for friendly, experienced cyclists. You will be trained by us: We have developed a six-module online program, including first-aid-training, and we will meet you for a ride assessment.
Your role will be:
- help participants sort out their bike (adjust saddle height, make sure tyres are pumped and the bike is fit)
- explain the route to them
- explain basic rules (don´t ride too close to parking cars, be assertive, stay close together as a group)
- lead the ride either in the front or as a backstop
- be encouraging and approachable!
If you prefer to be behind the scenes, you could become one of our organisers, for example setting up rides on Eventbrite, promoting them on social media, reaching out into the community such as local authorities or employers.
Please email info@joyriders.org.uk to find out more.

Our aims are ambitious - can you help?
We need all the help we can get. Your donation to JoyRiders Britain can help us make a difference in the lives of women in London and around the country.
JoyRiders love organising rides that include activities...
If you have a role in running a local gallery, museum, wildlife centre - or another local attraction - JoyRiders would like to speak with you.
Let's discuss what we could do together!
Every week - almost every day - someone from JoyRiders needs to be online...
As you can imagine, these things take a lot of time.
Can you help out by volunteering your time?
We need your help to change the cycling equation. Take a few minutes after each time you ride to select and download one of our templates... then post to Facebook or Twitter, comparing your ride with the same journey by car or public transport...how long it took, how much it cost, how good you felt... Please use the hashtag #CheaperFasterHealthier and choose one of those as the theme of your post
Tag us (@JoyRidersUK - Twitter; @JoyRidersLondon on Facebook), and your friends, ask them to do the same... #MassTransitoftheFuture
Some examples have been completed to give you ideas...if you'd like to take it further and be a case study subject, please get in touch via the Contact Us form
