PRiDE OUT Reviews 9

I recently went on a cycle ride with this group. I had an absolutely lovely time with such lovely, Wonderful and accepting people.

As an introvert I find group things on the more stressful side but the beauty of this group was that if you wanted to just cycle then you could do, but by the end I felt so comfortable :)

Richard was amazing and really made me feel part of the group from the beginning. I felt like the route was extremely well thought out and he went at a pace that was suitable for everyone in the group.

I will definitely be coming on one of these rides again :-)

Great cycle rides with great people, highly recommended!

Excellent, friendly, fully inclusive group - non-competitive and caring ride leader. If you want exercise, friendly chat and a good old laugh join this friendly group and enjoy some brilliant rides 🚲😃🌈

Found out about pride out online.

Have been cyclist since I was 12.

Was so good to ride a really friendly / genuinely inclusive group for lgbtq+ people and their allies.

Richard the founder is legend.

The rides go at the pace of the slowest and I guarantee you’ll come away happier than you arrived.

If you are thinking of joining- do it!

I saw PRiDE OUT advertised and was really interested about an LGBTQ+ cycling group as I loved cycling when I was younger. I was really apprehensive and nervous about coming along to a ride because I didn’t think I was very good or competent after not cycling for such a long time.

I reached out to the group via social media and I had nothing but friendly and welcoming responses back from the organisers. I was reassured and felt comfortable to come along.

That was a while back now and I’ve been on a few rides with the group. They’re really fun and a lot of thought goes into the routes and rides making sure that there’s something to cater for different people’s ability.

I can honestly say that being part of the group has meant such a lot to my health mentally and physically and I’m so grateful to have a place I feel safe and comfortable. I’ve been on lovely rides and enjoyed meeting wonderful people.

The take away I want you to have is that if you have ANY queries then get in touch with the group and one of the organisers will do their best to make you feel comfortable and confident to come along.

I think Pride Out is a brilliant idea.
I am waiting to get well enough to get back cycling, then I can get to ride with like minded people. More importantly I will hopefully make some new friends.
Keep up the good work guys

Yesterday I completed my first bike ride with Pride Out and felt the members were friendly and welcoming.

I have known Pride Out and its organisers for over a year now. They have been a great inspiration and a point of conversation since the first lockdown for me. I have had numerous conversations about the visibility of the group to the wider LGBTQ community and how excercise via cycle is so important for us now due to being stuck at home most days due to Covid restrictions.

We had few laughs on the first ride with lots of banter. I will definitely join more rides especially now that the weather is improving a little.

Joining Pride Out for me is not just about the bike rides but also about creating a sense of community feel and belonging within the LGBTQ community and making new friendships along the way.

Been on a few rides now, great company, well advertised so something for everyone whether a beginner or more advanced cyclist. And one of the most welcoming groups around!

Great cycling
