E-bikes and e-buses! The future of South Yorkshire public transport. It was great to be at City Hall today for the rollout of the South Yorkshire People’s Network. The mayor is bringing buses back into public ownership and launching an e-bike subscription scheme. We’re thrilled that the mayor’s office chose bikes for their big brand launch today.

The route features some of the most beautiful and challenging scenery in the north, taking in some famous landmarks along the way, including the Ribblehead Viaduct, Buttertubs Pass and England's highest pub - The Tan Hill Inn. You''ll finish at the at the Dales Bike Centre, where food, drink and camping is available.

Day 2 is slightly easier on the legs! After breakfast at Dales Bike Centre you'll head east following the River Swale through Richmond and onto Northallerton The route skirts the edge of the North York Moors to the lovely village of Easingwold where it criss-crosses the vale of York, first to Tadcaster then on to Selby. The final section of the route travels south-east through the old pit villages of South Yorkshire and back into Sheffield.

THANK YOU! 🙏 We received over one thousand donated bicycles for the second year in a row.

Thanks to everyone who donated their old bikes during 2025.

Your bike donations help us to generate funds for the upkeep of our park and provide low-cost bikes for University of Sheffield students. We also partner with COMAC, a local volunteer organisation who refurbish bikes for asylum seekers, and also Aid 4 Gambia, a charity that ships bikes out to Gambian villages to help people travel to work and school by bike. Any bikes we’re unable to repurpose will be stripped down for parts and we try to make good use of all the components.

We never turn a bike donation away so if you have one lurking in your shed collecting dust, whatever state it’s in, please drop it off with us and we’ll do our best to bring it back to life and give it a new home.

We've knocked a third off the price of this gorgeous Salsa Journeyer gravel bike.

RRP £2550
CHRISTMAS BARGAIN PRICE £1699!

The best all-road bikes combine confidence on a wide variety of terrain with the versatility to take on all types of adventures. It’s no coincidence that you’ll find the Salsa Journeyer GRX 600 650b at that intersection. Journeyer’s all-new aluminum frame and Waxwing carbon fork deliver a smooth, comfortable riding experience. With rack and fender compatibility, plus Three-Pack and accessory mounts, you can customize it to your needs — from gravel to bikepacking to commuting. The 650b x 47 mm wheels and tyres provide the cushiony ride and grip of a high-volume tyre, and Shimano’s GRX 600 groupset was designed from the ground-up for an excellent gravel riding experience. It all comes together to make Journeyer one of the best all-road bikes out there for new gravel riders or all-arounders.
