In Birmingham, Sky Ride Local bike rides offer a great day out and include lots of goodies for children aged 15 and under who take part in one or more, free bike rides. Rides are free and perfect for families. Gifts for kids include a goody bag, an amazing frog LED bike light and a fantastic Sky Ride Local hoodie.
