𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗡 𝗕𝗜𝗞𝗘 𝗔𝗠𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗬: If you’ve got an old or unwanted bicycle gathering dust or taking up space, it could be time to declutter + donate! Simply bring them to our New Malden workshop where we’ll refurbish them + salvage parts for the benefit of the community.

devastating news today - one of 'our' riders didn't return home after a training ride yesterday. appreciate every (safe) ride, every day and every moment. you never know if it's your last one.
rest in peace.

Don't hug the kerb. Some cyclists worry that being further out may put them in the way of the traffic. But it won't: you are the traffic. Watch our video guide to learn the road positioning basics: https://t.co/Qb4YSCFkRb

LIGHTS FIXTURE: Please obey the temporary traffic lights between Kingston and Richmond Gates which manage the narrowed section of road where a car caught fire last month. The contractors who will repair the charred area have a full order book, so the lights may be there a while…

We're just as passionate about recycling as cycling. So, this World Recycling Day, why not dig out your unwanted bikes for us to refurbish. Together we can give local Kingston charities & people from all backgrounds access to affordable bikes. ♻️💚 #Community #GlobalRecyclingDay

Could you do the weekly shop by bike? 🛒 You'll be surprised how much you can carry with the right kit! It is a good way to avoid impulse buys, likely to lower the cost and reduce waste. Plus you'll save fuel, feel fitter and have fun.

This Lent, let's #DriveLessCycleMore.

It feels like an opportune moment to bring this out again. 'If you think high-vis and helmets are the answer, your'e asking the wrong question'
There's also an old video that has very much stood the test of time.... https://t.co/nvHpzSJv6C

This is sad news. Let’s hope the tour series can make its return next year 🤞

DROP ZONES: Please take care on the roundabouts - we are still getting reports of cyclists coming off, despite the situation improving since an absorbent treatment was applied to the road surface a couple of weeks ago. (1/3)

Don’t forget! Once the clocks go back on October 30 we ask that anyone participating in club rides has mudguards fitted. No guards, no ride. Gravel rides excepted.

2.5 hours’ cargo bike riding, kids up front, and they’re the ones who fall asleep. Sheesh. No matter the stress, tension or exhaustion of life/parenting, 5 minutes aboard and we’re all in a happy place. If you charged for this feeling, you’d make a fortune. Bike happiness to you.

Detesting the Tories is not a sign of nastiness, as they are claiming. It’s the sentiment of a caring human being who cannot stand Tories loathing most people in this country.
