Windsor Cycle Hub

From 11am until 12.30pm, Windsor Cycle Hub's (WCH's) volunteers will be on hand to offer safety checks, basic repairs, Bike Register security marking, and to answer your bike-related queries. You can also enquire about buying one of their refurbished bikes – with models suitable for all ages.

Want help with a flat tyre, wonky saddle, rattly mudguard, squeaky chain, squidgy tyre, or just want a good old chat about bikes? WCH are there for you.

To help WCH plan volunteer numbers, and to save your time on the day, please book in advance. They are usually at The Swan, unless it is a rare 'Away Day'. It is highly recommended to have your bike checked before joining your first Guided Ride.

Regular guided rides set-off at 11am promptly, please be here ten-fifteen minutes prior. Rides depart and return to The Swan, unless it is a rare ‘Away Day’. Rides are always lead, and supported by, Windsor Cycle Hub’s trained volunteers. This training includes First Aid (they carry kits), and all rides are insured by national organisation Cycling UK.

Naturally, the rides are in and around Windsor, Eton and the surrounding area – Level 4 rides head further afield. You will learn some interesting facts about the area, and the quieter places to cycle.

The easy Level 1 ride is on the first Saturday of the month, Level 2 the second, Level 3 the third, and Level 4 the fourth Saturday of the month. If there is a fifth Saturday, WCH hold a skills session – watch out on social media and our emails for news.

Rides increase in distance, speed and difficulty throughout the month. It is highly recommended to start at Level 1 and see how you get on.

To save time on Saturdays (and help WCH plan), please register in advance – it also means they can contact you if a ride is cancelled due to bad weather. Everyone must be registered, have a bike check and attend the safety briefing for insurance purposes. Please arrive 10-15 minutes in advance of departure time for this. Please have your bike thoroughly checked the week before attending your first ride.

To learn more about what to wear/bring and what to expect on the Guided Rides, please visit WCH's website. There's a ride for every type of rider each month, they will even lay on one-to-one training for adults who need extra help before attempting Level 1.

Contact details for WCH are at the foot of this page, should you have any questions or want to arrange a one-to-one session. WCH are here to help you get back into cycling on a regular basis – it's great for your mind, body and the planet.

Windsor Cycle Hub's Bike Storage is FULL!

Please DO NOT leave bikes for WCH at The Swan, as there is no space for them, and we need to know where they have come from.

Thanks to the community's generosity, WCH has plenty of bikes to refurbish, but no room for anymore. So, they have to be very selective for now, and will only accept bikes if they are in good condition, and they can be quickly reallocated to people who need them.

If you have a bike you wish to donate, please email some photos of it to: info@WindsorCycleHub.org. If the bike is suitable, WCH will reply with drop-off instructions.

Again, for now please DO NOT leave bikes at The Swan.

WCH is a, 100% volunteer run, community bike hub based at The Swan, Clewer. Their objective is to increase the accessibility of cycling in and around Windsor. They do this by: repairing bikes, helping people stop their bikes from being stolen, selling refurbished bikes to the community at reasonable prices, campaigning for better cycling facilities, plus showing people where and how to cycle safely.

They meet every Saturday between 11am – 12:30pm at The Swan.

WCH is an accessible hub, not an exclusive club. So, they are open to absolutely anyone who wants to benefit from cycling – regardless of ability. Being based at The Swan is perfect, as it is a safe space for all, and is a great place to get to know each other after a ride, or during a repair session. The social element of WCH is as important as the bike element.

Want to find out what WCH is all about? Then it is best to come along one Saturday and see for yourself.

WCH is affiliated with national organisation Cycling UK, and is also registered as a charity in England & Wales, Charity No.: 1195024.

Windsor Cycle Hub has its own dedicated website. This has more information about the Bike Kitchen, Guided Rides, Refurbished Bike Sales and advice on great places to cycle in our area.

Please visit WCH’s website regularly to learn about new developments and events.
