MAY 27-29, 2022

Ford has become the presenting partner of RideLondon, one of the world’s greatest festival of cycling, taking place on 27-29 May 2022

As part of this partnership, Ford will be the sponsor of the Ford Queen of the Mountains competition for the top women pro riders in the UCI Women’s WorldTour three day stage race, the RideLondon Classique. In addition, the Race Director will drive a Ford Kuga PHEV for the race convoy, and Ford Mustang Mach-E will be the Official Electric Vehicle as part of the London 2022 RideLondon Classique support fleet.

Claire Killwick, Head of Customer Communications at Ford of Britain, said: “As Ride London comes to Essex, we’re excited to lend our support. Ford is committed to selling vehicles that achieve zero emissions whilst driving, and carbon neutrality across its European facilities, logistics and suppliers by 2035. Our Park The Car initiative is part of this and the message is simple - if your journey is under three miles, consider walking or cycling when you can.”

The partnership will also see Ford support RideLondon FreeCycle’s Led Ride scheme.

Enabled by London Cycling Campaign, Led Rides guide people to and from FreeCycle, the free event held on eight miles of traffic-free roads in central London. The Led Rides will come from all 32 of the London boroughs, encouraging people to cycle the short distance into the city centre.

Hugh Brasher, Event Director of London Marathon Events, said: “We are delighted to welcome Ford to RideLondon. We look forward to working with the Ford team to amplify their work in promoting active travel through their association with RideLondon and the innovative “Park the Car’ campaign which encourages car users to cycle or walk rather than drive short journeys.”
