RideLondon has been cancelled for 2025, with the organisers saying that this is a "pause" not an end for the mass-participation cycling event, the UK's biggest. The news was announced on Wednesday afternoon, with those who have already entered promised a full refund.

The annual ride, organised by London Marathon Events, saw thousands of people ride 30, 60 or 100 miles on a closed-road course on a loop to and from London. It originally took place on a circuit around Surrey, on many of the same roads as the London 2012 road race, as an Olympic legacy event, before moving to Essex in 2022. The 10th edition took place this year.
