Tour de Waltham Forest - Sunday 20th September 2026

Get ready to ride! Tour de Waltham Forest, the borough's largest annual community cycling event, returns this September.
About this Event

Join us in Lloyd Park, Walthamstow for a fantastic day of cycling activities, entertainment and family fun.

No ticket is needed to come along and enjoy the event in the park – everyone is welcome! Come for the rides, the activities, or just to enjoy the day - we'd love to see you there.

If you'd like to take part in one of our guided or self-guided rides, please book a ride ticket in advance.

Self-guided rides will take place in the morning, with clear signage and an online map to follow. In the afternoon, the same routes will be ridden with support from experienced ride leaders.

You can choose from three great cycling routes, all starting and finishing in Lloyd Park:

• Bronze - a relaxed ride of approximately 9km

• Silver - a scenic route of around 16km

• Gold - a more adventurous tour of approximately 20km

What else will be happening?

As well as exploring the borough on our three cycle routes, there’ll be family-friendly activities to take part in, food stalls to grab a bite to eat from and The Dr Bike team will also be on hand to check over brakes, tyres and wheels ahead of the event for free. If your cycle requires a check over before the ride, please arrive at least 30 minutes before your booked start time.

We will also be running Dr Bikes across the borough in advance of event, or if you’d like more practice before the event, you can book a lesson through our providers Cycling Instructor or Cycle Sisters.
