Sofa to Saddle is like couch to 5k but with bikes. Launching on 22 July across all app stores, the programme, developed by British Cycling, aims to inspire 1 million people to take up cycling by 2028.
In just 8 weeks, Sofa to Saddle will support users to build a healthy lifestyle habit and become regular cyclists for years to come.

Cllr Christine Bannon, Knowsley Council’s Cabinet Member for Health, said: “Cycling is a great way to improve your health and wellbeing, and with the Tour De France coming to Knowsley in 2027 there has never been a better time to start.
“The Sofa to Saddle app has been designed to help residents become regular cyclists and the programme is easy to follow.
“Knowsley is a borough full of great places to cycle, including our beautiful parks and the TransPennine Trail, so it couldn’t be easier to get out and get started.”
