Rutland Cycling have pledged to support four local MIND charities across central England in 2021, with fundraising, volunteer support and to help raise awareness of the work the local MIND charities offer the local communities in Rutland’s 14 store locations.
We have an option for you to donate to Mind whilst making your hire booking.Come and enjoy a fun, healthy day out at Ferry Meadows Country Park, located on the western edge of Peterborough. There’s so much to experience and exploring the park by bike is the best way to get around. Pedal along miles of traffic-free paths, discover the three children’s play areas, go bug hunting, picnic on the parkland or savour the homemade delights of the excellent cafes within the park – you can even catch the cycle-friendly Nene Valley steam train.
