What's a glow ride? @CyclingUK

Uploaded December 2025 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

Lights on, voices heard.

We took a mic to the glow rides and asked riders why they were there. The answer came back loud and clear: people want safe places to walk and cycle, day and night.

Straight from the saddle, riders spoke about confidence, comfort, and streets that work for everyone. Glowing bikes, lit up streets, and a shared call for safer journeys for all.

He suffered facial fractures, spinal injuries, brain bleeds, and months of recovery. This is Martin’s story, and a reminder that potholes are not a minor inconvenience.
