Skyride
Led Sunday rides with trained ride leaders are not an event so much as a recruitment scheme, and this entry is the archive’s clearest piece of evidence that the city’s track success was being pointed at ordinary cyclists.
The offer in the listing is the giveaway: free, every week, all abilities, with someone on hand to teach road confidence. The velodrome record makes the same pitch indoors.
