Ford RideLondon FreeCycle gives you the unique opportunity to cycle along some of London’s most-famous streets, without any traffic in your way. But there’s more to it than that!

For 2023, the Ford RideLondon FreeCycle route will feature two Festival Zones at St Paul's Cathedral and Bank – the perfect places to pause for some rest, grab some refreshments, watch live entertainment and enjoy a wealth of fun, free, family-friendly activities. 

And new for 2023, the Ford RideLondon HUB at Trafalgar Square will be the stunning focal point of this year’s Ford RideLondon festival of cycling, providing even more free entertainment and exciting bike-based activities for everyone to enjoy.
