Ride to Light up the Night in Stevenage - 22nd October 2025
Save the Date - Wednesday 22 October 2025
Cycling UK is organising a national night of action on for mass glow rides linked with the ‘My ride. Our right’ campaign.
Joining with other communities across the country, we’ll light up the night and call for safer streets and better cycling infrastructure, especially for women riding after dark.
Our Stevenage Glow Ride will be between 6pm and 8pm.
- We will meet at Event Island between Danestrete and Town Square - this is a few minutes walk from Stevenage railway station.
- Our short 4 - 5 mile ride will include some of the best of Stevenage's historic cycleway network as well as highlighting some areas where women are less inclined to cycle particularly in the darker months.
- The Cycling UK ‘My ride. Our right’ campaign is focussed on issues women have raised, but men are welcome to ride with us.
Please sign up on Eventbrite if you plan to join the ride - and share the poster to let others know.
‘My ride. Our right’
We believe cycling should feel liberating, not intimidating. But sadly, that’s not the case for everyone.
Women make half as many trips by bike as men, and are more likely to be put off cycling by a fear of busy traffic.
Women shouldn’t feel forced to choose between a busy road and a dark isolated path. There should be a route that feels safe and welcoming.
This isn’t just about transport - it’s about equality, opportunity and giving more people the freedom to ride.
Because when we make cycling safer for women, we make it safer for everyone
