Warwickshire's winter cyclists ride almost three times around the globe

CYCLISTS across Warwickshire clocked up an impressive 67,500 miles during a winter riding event – close to three times around the circumference of the globe.

In December 2025 and January 2026, residents were out in force on their bikes as part of Love to Ride’s Winter Wheelies campaign which encourages safe winter cycling.

In total, 414 riders from 42 workplaces took part in Warwickshire and logged a collective distance of 67,500 miles over 6,367 individual trips.

Winter Wheelers is an all-inclusive challenge that welcomed both seasoned riders and those who are less experienced or even new to cycling. Riders had access to quick courses and a wealth of tips and informative articles to help boost their biking confidence. All participants received personalised emails to help them overcome their specific barriers and to guide them toward riding in a winter wonderland.




Warwickshire County Council is in the third year of its partnership with Love to Ride, giving residents, businesses and community groups access to the best rewards and resources that encourage cycling for travel and not just for leisure.
