This spring and summer there a lot of bike rides on the horizon. Choose one or more, get fit and raise money for charity.

In London there is no longer any sign of heavy snow. With higher temperatures outside and days becoming longer you can start planning your summer activities. One of the best ideas is to take part in a bike ride - one or perhaps more. With most of them you can also do some good and raise funds for charities. Events listed below are just suggestions for this year but there a lot more opportunities out there. Take your bike and start getting ready.

1. Moonriders
It's a night bike ride offering two routes – from London to Cambridge on the night of 10th/11th May 2013 and London to Brighton on the night of 12th/13th July 2013. It will be an extraordinary experience with a party at the start and finish line; there will be music, DJs, breakfast at the end and much more. Distance ain't easy though – it's 100km.
