This pretty ford over the River Sid can be cycled across if you are careful on the slope, which can be slippery at times. There's a little bridge you can walk your bike over if you'd prefer.

The River Sid is claimed to be the shortest complete river in England, flowing for 6.5 miles (10.5 km) southwards from a source in Crowpits Covert.

Cycling through it is no problem at all. Just be careful when you come out up the slope. Switch a little smaller. If you put too much force there, there is a risk of slipping.

Fording the river at this point on a bike seems like a bad idea - I recommend the narrow footbridge to the south.
