Let's Ride Leeds: Road Closures & Parking
On Sunday 10 September, Leeds hosts the HSBC UK City Ride. Here's everything you need to know about the event, road closures and parking options.
British Cycling and HSBC have teamed up for Let's Ride – a series of free bike rides to enjoy and exciting cycle routes to explore. These events take place in cities right across the UK, and this weekend on Sunday 10 September, Let's Ride comes to West Yorkshire for the Leeds instalment of the HSBC UK City Ride.
HSBC and British Cycling invite you to take over the city for a free day of bike riding fun. Bring your friends, family and bike and join thousands of others on a traffic-free ride to remember – with loads of free entertainment, plenty to see and have a go at, and a totally new way of experiencing Leeds.
As part of a day of traffic-free cycling designed to encourage as many people as possible to get out on their bikes, Leeds City Council will be closing the following roads between a maximum period of 6.00am and 6.00pm. Roads will re-open as soon as all equipment is taken from the route after the event finishes at 3.00pm and it is safe and feasible to do so.
