CYCLING INFORMATION

Ryton Pools has a number of trails and paths that are all great for cycling. Much of it is flat and particularly suited to children learning to ride or who aren’t yet confident or old enough to cycle on their own. There are some undulations and hills too, but none of these are difficult. And, once up, well, the best part is coming down!

In addition to the paths and trails around the park, there is a 16 mile trail starting at Ryton Pools. Further information on the trail can be obtained by visiting www.warwickshire.gov.uk

SAFETY

Before taking your bike, we will ensure that it is in good working order. In particular, we will check tyre pressures, brakes and steering. Once complete, you will be given a demonstration and instruction on the bikes and shown a copy of the safety guidance and Park Regulations before being asked to sign for the bike hire and to acknowledge the above.

The park is a lovely area and is used by nature lovers, walkers and many others. Cyclists are asked to consider other users of the park at all times and in particular when approaching people from behind whom might not hear you coming. Each bike is equipped with a bell and this should used in good time to allow you and them to take action to avoid any mishaps.
