West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) and British Cycling have launched a new YouTube channel to encourage residents to explore local cycling routes. The channel features guided rides showcasing accessible paths, landmarks, and destinations, aiming to inspire all ages and abilities.

This initiative is part of a broader partnership focused on expanding grassroots cycling and promoting its health, wellbeing, and environmental benefits. WNC and British Cycling are working with various local organisations to make cycling an everyday activity.

In addition to the YouTube channel, residents can join free, locally-led cycling activities through British Cycling’s Let’s Ride initiative. Online booking is available for guided rides suitable for different levels, including social rides, family introductions, women-only Breeze rides, and community-led sessions.

Opportunities will also be available during Bike Week 2026. Volunteers are needed for a new junior cycling club at Delapre Abbey for riders aged 5+. More information on local cycling activities can be found on the WNC website and the new YouTube channel.
